Smith Museum of Stained Glass Windows - Navy Pier, Chicago

Couple of weeks back I spent my Sunday afternoon at Navy Pier in Chicago with my wife and Shaurya. We had a great time watching beautiful Smith Museum of Stained Glass Windows.



The Smith Museum of Stained Glass Windows is a permanent display of 150 stained glass windows housed in an 800-ft.-long series of galleries along the lower level terraces of Festival Hall. Open since February 2000, it is the first museum in the United States dedicated solely to stained glass windows. It showcases both secular and religious windows and is divided by artistic theme into four categories: Victorian, Prairie, Modern and Contemporary. All of the windows were designed by prominent local, national and European studios and most were originally installed in Chicago area residential, commercial and religious buildings.
