All exterior and nearly all interior walls of this museum consist of large panels of curved glass, resulting in a transparent structure that blurs the boundaries between interior and exterior spaces. From its exterior, the building interacts with its surroundings because of its reflective surface. Juxtaposing gallery space and glassmaking studios this museum acts as a cultural icon for the city of Toledo.
This is Sejima and Nishizawa's first building in the United States. It is spectacular.
