The chairman of the council, George Russel, concluded that the Museum of Glass would be the perfect anchor for the renewed waterway.

Construction of the museum began in June 2000, and the steel frame of the iconic hot-shop cone was completed in 2001.

Shortly thereafter construction began on the Chihuly Bridge of Glass to link the museum to downtown Tacoma.

The Museum of Glass took to Instagram breaking the news and stating in a post: " “Triceratops” is an example of this complex, and once taboo, art form.

The cone, inspired by the wood "beehive burners" of the sawmills that once dotted the waterway, is composed of 2,800 diamond-shaped stainless steel panels and is 100 feet (30 m) in diameter at its base.

Hot shop activity is streamed live through the Museum of Glass’ website and is also archived online.
