Turner Museum of Glass, Glass museum at University of Sheffield, England
The Turner Museum of Glass contains more than 380 pieces of glass artifacts, including ancient Egyptian, Roman, and modern European glass works.
Professor W.E.S. Turner established the museum in 1943 after collecting glass objects during his research travels in the first half of the 20th century.
The collection features glass art from multiple regions, including Bohemian, Czechoslovakian, Scandinavian, French, Dutch, and Italian pieces from Murano.
The museum operates within the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the Sir Robert Hadfield Building, with entrance from Portobello Street.
The collection includes a wedding dress and matching shoes made entirely of glass fiber, recognized by BBC's History of the World series.
