In the exhibition ‘Glass, Made in Antiquity’ you will discover more than 200 glass objects from the archaeology collection of the Allard Pierson Museum. Transparent or opaque, in bright or soft colours, elegantly decorated and unique in shape; it is astonishing that the fragile material has remained so beautiful for centuries. Equally special is the craftsmanship with which the glass utensils and ornaments have been made. In recent years, the latest research methods have been used to fathom the technical aspects of glass from Antiquity. In the exhibition you can enjoy the beauty of the collection and learn more about the refined production methods of glass in Antiquity.
