Cool Glass Art @ the McNay

Need a creative respite from the height of summer? Cool off in the glow of the Mathews Glass Art collection in the sublime glass pavilion of the Stieren Center at the McNay Art Museum.

"Focused on the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods in France, one of the most creative chapters in the history of glass, the Mathews collection superbly complements the McNay’s strengths in French painting and sculpture of this same period. The great glass producers of the time are included, from Daum Frères and Emile Gallé to René Lalique, as well as rare works by Gabriel Argy-Rousseau, François Decorchement, and Jacques Gruber."
The exhibit runs through August 29 and is located at the Garden Level of the Stieren Center for Exhibitions.


The McNay is one of 27 affiliates of theFund. Donations to theFund help provide financial operating support to qualified arts and cultural organizations.
