Collection Info
Glass

The majority of the glass in this collection was purchased or excavated through the efforts of Dr. David Gordon Lyon, founding curator of the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East. He wanted to build a collection to teach the languages, cultures, and peoples of the Ancient Near East. The glassware represents a small but important part of the current collection that houses over 40,000 objects in total.
