    Incomplete. I don't know the history of this portion of the…read moremuseum but it appears to be new and still forming, as easily two thirds of the space are empty and under construction. We did enjoy the existing content however, which included 3 full rooms of display and a glass blowing demonstration that was both interesting to watch and very informative to listen to. The master glass blower is the program director who created the glass piece. We really enjoyed the presentation. I'd easily stop back in once new exhibits (rooms) are created. Cheers

    One of my stops while in Toledo was the Toledo Art Museum. Part of the art museum, but still sort…read moreof separate is the Glass Pavillion. It is across the street from the rest of the museum and houses a large collection of exquisite glass art. So many of the pieces are absolutely beautiful and showcase the versatility of this material in art. The pieces look so delicate and breathtaking. Like the Chandelier Campiello Del Remer #2 by Dale Chihuly, which you see upon first entering the Glass Pavillion. It was one of my favorite pieces of the entire collection. Two other ones that really caught my eye were The Counterman-Diner by Emily Brock, the details capturing an American Diner all in glass must have taken so much time and care. But in regard to detail, I was floored by The Chasidim-Franciscan Chess Set by Gianni Toso. It is an intricately detailed features on each chess piece is amazing. One side are Catholics and the other of the Jewish faith. Its an incredible piece of art! I spent quite some time just looking at it in awe, especially because I love Chess so much. While at the Glass Pavillion, I was also treated to watching someone create a glass vase. That is pretty cool! I would definitely recommend spending an hour or two just in the Glass Pavilion, it is so worth it!
