Chrysler Museum of Art

The Chrysler Museum of Art possesses one of the great glass collections in America. This is largely due to the efforts of Walter P. Chrysler, Jr., who identified glass as an important area for the museum that he established in Provincetown, Massachusetts. Mr. Chrysler had a particular passion for the glass of Louis Comfort Tiffany and was well positioned to become a pioneer collector in that area, having met Tiffany in 1931. The Chrysler’s greatest strength is in glass made during the second quarter of the 19th-century through the 20th-century, yet it contains many significant objects from earlier eras. The Tiffany collection is world famous and nearly comprehensive in the area of blown glass, and also contains splendid windows and lamps.
