Supercool Glass

With the construction of the Pizzagalli Center, the Shelburne Museum in Vermont is now open year-round. On exhibit in the new building, besides New Blooms nail art, is Supercool Glass. It's a fascinating display of glass objects and artwork from the 19th Century through contemporary times. What I really enjoyed seeing is the beauty of the glass enhanced by reflections of light.

These everyday objects are completely encrusted with chips of glass.

  Here's a closeup look:

"Mirror, mirror, on the wall..."

In the center of the room is a huge glass chess set.


Contrasting with the colored glass is an arrangement of clear glassware with their very prominent shadows.

It was rather unusual seeing a skull on display. The colors are striking.

I loved the windows, and kept going back to look through them. It was fun seeing the distortion of images on the other side.

This amazing exhibit will continue until June 8, 2014.
