On the 29th of March, 2024, the day began with tumultuous weather reminiscent of a typhoon. As the day progressed, the atmosphere at the Glass Museum, which I visited post-noon, transitioned to a cloudy and mist-laden scene. The gardens, veiled in a gentle fog, appeared all the more magical. In summary, my visit was quite enjoyable, complete with a delightful lunch break at the museum’s restaurant. The photographs accompanying this text capture the serene ambiance of that afternoon.

This deep blue glass vessel boasts a stunning interplay of enameled and gold embellishments. While its solid base initially commands attention, a closer look reveals a surprisingly lightweight construction achieved through a masterful thin-glass blowing technique. This seemingly paradoxical combination of strength and weightlessness embodies the essence of Venetian glass artistry.
