Glass Art

        My art outlet has been working with glass. While I have used other media I liked the surprising quality to glass. Because of this we made sure to go to the island of Murano out of Venice. There were many factories, but what struck me is the Museum of Glass which had works by people that surprised me. Picasso, for example, as several works on display. The photo here is of a room in the Louvre which contains modern glass, not just ancient works like the British Museum.
        Almost every museum has a area which celebrates glass. In Europe, from Germany to Italy to France we have had to see the glass artistry there. It makes you want to get better.
