One of the exhibits at the Museum of Glass (MOG) in Tacoma, Washington, is Out of the Vault: Hidden Gems from Museum of Glass Permanent Collections.
According to the display:
“Museum collections are held in public trust—each object is protected by high standards of care with the goal of sharing it with future generations through exhibitions and research. Museum of Glass’ (MOG) collections are continually growing to represent the vibrant and evolving ways the medium of glass is used to make art.”
