How Do You Move a 2,400 Piece Glass Sculpture?

 My brother in law Tom is project manager for the glass artist Chihuly. He's the one at the end of this video. After more then 20 years of moving glass around the world, only a few pieces have been broken! When I was at the V&A in London last summer the hanging chandelier in the main lobby was by Chihuly; about as big as this one, but hanging DOWN from the ceiling instead of going up!
