The signature work of art at the Mint Museum of Craft + Design - Dale Chihuly's Royal Blue Mint Chandelier - has a new home six blocks down Tryon Street at the new Mint Museum uptown, which is scheduled to open Oct. 1. Weighing 2,200 pounds, the piece is made up of hundreds of delicate, asymmetrical glass pieces that fuse craft, art, ornament and design.
