A highlight is the "Goblet Blowing in the Wind" created by Giuseppe Barovier. There are also collections from Egidio Costantini, who collaborated with 20th-century artists to create a new category of glass sculpture, allowing visitors to appreciate the history of Venetian glass through various series. In the Modern Glass Museum, you can admire the elegantly styled blown glass sculptures by modern glass artist Livio Seguso, as well as the vibrant glass space art created by American glass artist Dale Chihuly.
