The Toledo Museum of Art

The Toledo Museum Of Glass opened in 2006. Unfortunately my camera could not capture the true beauty of the building built with so many glass walls. Dale Chihuly had a great presence in the development of the great building. He designed the beautiful chandelier, Campellio Del Remer #2

which welcomes the guests in the main entrance. Be sure to click on the photos to enlarge the detail. The first photo is of a piece of art glass in the technique Macchia. This technique applies a liner of one color, another color for the lip of the piece and then the outside layer can be many colors. The chandelier in the entrance hall was not lighted but each piece of glass had its own design in the shape. The photos of the four pieces in a cabinet are his 2009 museum pieces that were for sale. The last photo shows the center of three buildings of the original Toledo Museum of Art. What a gift to the City built in 1916 by Edward Drummond Libby who made Toledo Ohio the glass capitol of the world.
