Holy Toledo

 
In addition to a state-of-the-art glassblowing studio, the Glass Pavilion at the Toledo Museum of Art has one of the world's finest collections of glass.  The Glass Pavilion was designed by Frank Gehry; the curtain walls are made entirely from glass.  In the Beaux Arts building across the street, the museum has an interesting and significant collection of other art work, including Rembrandt, El Greco, Moore, and several Impressionists.  The staff has a wonderfully upbeat attitude and admission to the museum is absolutely free.  For anyone visiting Toledo, Ohio or passing through on Interstates 75, 80 or 90, a visit to the museum is definitely worth the time.
