Molten Color: Glassmaking in Antiquity May 31, 2010

This exhibition celebrates the acquisition of the Oppenlander collection of ancient glass, and will be among the first exhibitions to mark the opening of the Getty Villa. The Oppenlander collection is remarkable for its high quality and its chronological breadth, covering all periods of ancient glass production. The objects are arranged by their method of manufacture, from casting and core-forming to inflation, and in-gallery videos will illustrate ancient glassmaking techniques.
