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:
“I must sojourn once to the ballot-box before I die. I hear the ballot-box is a beautiful glass globe, so you can see all the votes as they go in. Now, the first time I vote I’ll see if the woman’s vote looks any different from the rest—if it makes any stir or commotion. If it don’t inside, it need not outside.”
—Sojourner Truth (c. 1797–1883)
