Glass Artists

First opened in 2006, the Glass Pavilion at Toledo's Museum of Art now holds over 5,000 glass pieces ranging from antiquity to contemporary and post modern. Both and building's interior and exterior are composed largely of curved glass with clean lines and cool, inviting colors.Tokyo based architecture firm, SANAA Ltd, enjoyed playing with and blurring the lines between the interior functional space of the Glass Pavilion and the wooded natural lot surrounding it's exterior. The Glass Pavilion won Travel+Leisure's 2007 Design Award for "Best Museum."
