On Sunday, Dec. 12, The Detroit Institute of Arts will open its newest exhibit, a spectacular collection of Venetian glass, in Murano: Glass from the Olnick Spanu Collection. Murano is a small cluster of islands in the Venice Lagoon, and has been home to master glassblowers for centuries. The DIA’s exhibit will focus on the present, showcasing more than 200 examples of modern glassblowing from the 20th century. The exhibit runs until Feb. 27, 2005.
