April 30, 1998 - December 31, 2010

Before it was known for steel, Pittsburgh was America's Glass City. Pittsburgh-produced glass has been used in fine tableware for five U.S. presidents, as tiles for the walls of New York City's great tunnels, and in searchlights at the Panama Canal. Glass: Shattering Notions showcases the beauty, science, utility and technology of Western Pennsylvania glass over the past 200 years. Interactive activities demonstrate what chemicals are used to create glass in various colors, how glass can "bend" light to make objects appear smaller or larger, and much more.
