It was!  It's one of my all-time-favorite pieces of art--just stunning.  
It's on display now at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art....they bought 
the whole collection that came through there about 4 years ago as a 
traveling exhibit and put it on permanent display. If you have the 
chance to see it in person, you'll really enjoy it. Here's the Museum's 
page about the Chihuly exhibit:  http://www.okcmoa.com/p/8397/Default.aspx
