I did the gardens in Seattle in 2012.
I highly recommend doing the outside both during the daytime and returning again in the evening.
Here are a couple of examples.
Good Luck!

After Dark

This is nice photography, but it also demonstrates one of the big potential challenges of shooting after dark. For me, Chihuly glass is about two things...color and flow, in that order. Our local exhibit did not have a lot of internally lit pieces, but this illustrates what happens with internal or high intensity lighting at night...the color can easily get washed out. You may want to have a strategy to deal with that. Perhaps some sort of HDR approach would be appropriate. Another possibility would be Highlight Weighted Metering with reduced contrast and maybe a little negative exposure compensation. (I'm thinking out loud here, but these are what I would try.) I'd also use the lowest possible ISO to preserve raw dynamic range if I were planning to post process.

Mostly, have fun and enjoy the exhibit.

Early morining or late afternoon. Get the Golden hour light.

The inside exhibits at the Seattle botanical gardens are amazing. This is just a cell phone picture I took in 2012 long before they improved the iPhone cameras. It's a little soft but it still captures the brilliant colors and those flowing shapes you speak of.

Amazingly beautiful, as is anything made by Chihuly For something absolutely incredible in another sphere, architecture, do a google search for Zaha Hadid Architects. WOW🎯
