Overview
One of the most famous treasures of the Harvard Museum of Natural History is the internationally acclaimed, “Glass Flowers.” This unique collection of over 4000 models— 2000 on display—was created by the glass artisans, Leopold Blaschka and his son, Rudolf. The commission began in 1886, continued for five decades, and represents more than 830 plant species. In May 2016, the museum completed a historic renovation that has transformed the gallery. Food and drink are not permitted in the gallery. A reception area immediately outside the gallery is available.
