Molten Color: Glass in the Getty Collection

 

A little sand, a little heat and you have one of the most interesting materials—glass! In this tour, we’ll look at the Getty's glass collection that dates from the ancient world to the 19th century. Whether it was used in amphorae, windows, clocks, chandeliers or other decorative arts objects, clear and colored glass has a story to tell.
