Tiffany GlassOne of the most astonishing collections of blown and cut glass can be found in an astonishing location: Texas A&M University in College Station, in the center of the triangle of Dallas, San Antonio and Houston. The Memorial Student Center (MSC) museums are there to enhance the college experience of students far from urban centers, yet the collection of glass offered is unmatched in any major city in Texas. I have visited several times, the most recent in April 1998. [Actually, once since then, also. MF]
The glass shown here includes turn of the century Tiffany and Steuben as well other 19th century sources of glass. Examples English Cameo glass and American cut crystal of such quality that it travels to exhibits in the U.S.A. and England. The museum brings in traveling shows, including a paperweight show of contemporary and antique weights.
In the fall of 1999, September 17 to October 19, the J. Wayne Stark Galleries in the MSC will be showing Hot and Cool: Contemporary Glass organized by Exhibits USA, with 36 American artists' works. 8/24/99
