| Additional Information: Following is from Wikipedia at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Bedford_Museum_of_Glass The New Bedford Museum of Glass, located in New Bedford, Massachusetts, is home to a wide collection of glass ranging from ancient Mediterranean unguent bottles to designs by contemporary artists such as Dale Chihuly. It was first established in 1993 as the Glass Art Center at the former Bradford College in Haverhill, Massachusetts. After the college closed, the Museum relocated to New Bedford in part due to the city's rich heritage of glassmaking. As a result, the Mount Washington Glass and Pairpoint Glass compose a large part of the Museum's collection. The Museum is located in one of the original buildings of the historic Wamsutta Textile Mills complex. The grand opening took place September 11, 2010. The Museum's collection numbers more than 7,000 items. Another important resource at the Museum is the Virginia Shaw Rockwell Research Library, which contains more than 6,000 publications on the subject of glass. | ||
