Anna Safley Houston began collecting antiques in the late 1800s, traveling by train throughout the country. Over the years, some of those treasured glass objects inevitably broke. Thankfully, forward-thinking museum stewards saved the pieces.
Now, we’re giving those broken pieces a whole new life! We’re partnering with local stained glass artist, Amber of to create a one-of-a-kind stained glass piece for the Museum’s stairwell.🪟Amber is flattening the broken glass in her kiln and incorporating these historic pieces into a beautiful new work of art.
What a dream come true—to take pieces collected by Anna more than 100 years ago, saved by generations of museum stewards, and give them a new life as part of the Museum’s next chapter. ✨
We can’t wait to share the finished piece with you! Swipe to the end to see the approved sketch ✍️😍
