Alarge historical collection of Murano glass is on display in the island’s glass museum and merits a visit for its interesting chronological collection of glassware that dates back as far as the first century AD. The exhibit begins in the ground floor’s archaeological room with a collection of free-blown and mould-blown glass cups, bowls, urns, beakers and jewelry from the first to third centuries AD.
Upstairs, exhibits chronicle the science and craft of glassmaking, highlighting various stages of the process, ferri da lavori (tools) and techniques that have evolved over the centuries. Noteworthy are the three oversized Murano glass chandeliers hanging from the frescoed ceiling in the room upstairs and the room’s late 19th-century mosaic portraits. Exhibit descriptions are written in both Italian and English.
