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:
“Thou didst create the night, but I made the lamp.
Thou didst create clay, but I made the cup.
Thou didst create the deserts, mountains and forests,
I produced the orchards, gardens and groves.
It is I who made the glass out of stone,
And it is I who turn a poison into an antidote.”
—Muhammad, Sir Iqbal (1873–1938)
