The Museum (not the opera, which we went to as well). I must admit, I think the V&A does things better. There's no glass department as such: all the glass is in its various sections - so Roman in classical (first picture); medieval in European and so on. No modern glass to speak of - the handkerchief vase (didn't get the attribution). Still, I had a good time combing through. Including seeing two trumpets made of glass (middle picture out of focus). The reason I snapped the roemer is the incised map around the bowl, which set me thinking about my ghost platters because I keep thinking engraving on them is my next step. A germ of an idea began.
