Step inside the Chicago Cultural Centre, and your eyes are instantly drawn upward to a glowing canopy of colour—the Tiffany Dome.

Suspended above Preston Bradley Hall, this masterpiece spans approximately 11 metres in diameter and is composed of roughly 30,000 pieces of Favrile glass, each shaped like a fish scale.

Sunlight filters through its translucent surface, shifting blues and golds across its intricate pattern.
