Press Release:
The delicate and refined art of glass bead making is an extraordinary chapter in the history of Murano glass. Used in the past as an exchange currency even as far as the New World, the beads with their unexpected miniaturised decorations, perfect in every shade of colour, are still a precious accessory today. The Museo del Vetro di Murano, which owns perhaps the world’s largest existing collection and exemplars of glass beads, presents the frst major scientifc study of these small precious artefacts, undertaken by Augusto Panini.
