These amazing images were shared with the owners of these buildings, and were included in the award- winning publication of the same title that ccompanied the show. The exhibition and publication were the result of multiple years of hard work on the part of the Museum’s staff, and have resulted in a lasting contribu- tion to our understanding of the glass art of Louis C. Tiffany. The Tiffany exhibition no doubt had an impact on our visitation numbers for the year, and we were pleased to see that our individual and family visitors in 2017 reached their high- est level in the past 25 years. In addition to the pleasure of visiting the Tiffany exhibition, our guests enjoyed another changing exhibi- tion on view at the Rakow Research Library. “Curious and Curiouser: Surprising Finds from the Rakow Library” enabled its curator, Rebecca Hopman, our outreach librarian, to share some of the unusual holdings within the library’s special collections, and to demonstrate how those holdings have influenced the creative work of artists who have come to study and make glass at the Museum.
