The front deck of the museum is on a river (right) and has this
reflecting pool for exhibits. The museum has no permanent collection
and choosing these willow wrappings as one of the first exhibits had the
glass fanatics crying treason. The glass wall along the deck is to the
left with the museum shop behind it here, the lobby being behind the camera. |
 |
| Turning right from the picture above, we have this
rather spectacular bridge and domed arena. The boats aren't bad
either. |
 |
| This begins the first set of views of the shop, with
more below, including exterior. Seating is to the right and a balcony
(next) over the hot stuff to the left. The ladder is used for pulling
stringer and rods. |
 |
| The huge video display faces the seating. |
 |
| Looking down from the balcony. |

| Up in the corner of the balcony this glass armonica was
being played by the owner. |

bridge. |
|
| These buildings, plus an old courthouse, are at the land
end of the bridge. |
 |
| Looking back along the bridge over the railroad tracks
(lower right) with the pillars, bridge roof and the cone, recalling old
brick glass factories, that houses the hot shop. |

This old building, flanks the museum entry and is being rehabbed for shops. |

On the roof and ramps. Dozens of glass balls floating on water in
mid-image, a glass building to left, water below is pool shown below. |

Team planning on floor of hot shop. Video camera produces images shown

Shot up into cone. Vent ducting for furnace wall is up from lower left
corner. Ironically, nothing up at the top opens, so the place gets
hotter than it should in the audience space. |

|
Marvers. |
 |
|
Is this enough doors on a glory hole for you? Note the combination of
a rolling split and pivots. |
 |
|
Garage, marver, bench. |
