In celebration of its 90th anniversary, the Zanesville Museum of Art (ZMA) will welcome Tiffany’s Gardens in Glass, a major exhibition exploring Louis C. Tiffany’s lifelong fascination with the natural world and the extraordinary artistry that transformed flowers, foliage, and landscapes into luminous works of glass.
Organized by The Neustadt Collection of Tiffany Glass in Queens, New York, Tiffany’s Gardens in Glass will be on view at ZMA from October 22, 2026, through January 9, 2027. The exhibition features ten of Tiffany Studios’ celebrated botanical lamps and windows alongside nine nature study photographs from the Studios’ extensive reference collection, illuminating the creative journey from inspiration to finished work. Also on view, reflecting Zanesville’s rich American art pottery tradition, are exceptional examples of Tiffany Studios Favrile art pottery on loan from Lillian Nassau galleries in New York. Inspired by the colors, textures, and organic forms of the natural world, Tiffany’s innovative pottery extended his artistic vision beyond glass, transforming clay and glaze into richly expressive works of art.
