Glass Invertebrates
The Blaschkas also made glass models of invertebrates. Cornell University has some on display; however, most are stored for safekeeping at the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York. Other locations exhibiting the Blaschka invertebrates include the Boston Museum of Science, the Harvard Museum of Natural History, the National Museum of Ireland, and the Redpath Museum of McGill University.

Famous quotes containing the word glass:
“We are little airy creatures,
All of different voice and features:
One of us in glass is set,
One of us you’ll find in jet,
T’other you may see in tin,
And the fourth a box within;
If the fifth you should pursue,
It can never fly from you.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
