The astonishingly beautiful one-of-a-kind glass flower collection at Harvard Museum of Natural History has delighted audiences for more than a century. Over a span of fifty years, from 1886 to 1936, Leopold Blaschka and his son, Rudolf, produced 4,300 models representing 780 plant species exclusively for Harvard University.


Collection Manager Jennifer Brown shares the history of this internationally acclaimed collection and discusses recent projects.
