Description
Experience the tranquil pleasure of a tropical fish aquarium without the need for feeding and maintenance. Beautifully expressing the strong tie between the islands of Venice and the briny lagoon that surrounds them, this Murano Glass Fish Aquarium is handmade by glass artisans on the island of Murano, Italy.
Colorful fish, underwater reeds, and fish bowl decorations are created from glass rods, called murrina, then skillfully embedded (while nearly molten) within the glass "tank" of this enchanting Murano Aquarium. The result is a masterful illusion of movement made more vibrant and magical in natural light.
Museum Story
This extraordinary Murano Glass Aquarium calls to mind the breathtaking interactive experience offered by our National Museum of Natural History's Sant Ocean Hall while celebrating the exceptional collection of Murano glass curated by our National Museum of American History. Renowned the world over for their centuries-long mastery of the fluid art of mouth-blown glass, Murano glass artisans create unique works of heirloom art.
