The Chrysler Museum of Art is home to one of the largest and most comprehensive collections of glass in the world, with more than 10,000 glass objects, some as old as 3,000 years!

The history lessons continue with the collection of European Paintings and Sculptures that even span the Renaissance era! It's not just art kids will be learning about, it's culture!

There are collections containing some of the greatest American paintings and sculptures the world has ever seen, and there is even more of a deep dive into ancient cultures in the Ancient Worlds collection. From Egyptian, to Greco-Roman, East Asian, and even Islamic, there are some incredible artifacts to admire. 

Photography is covered too with more than 4,000 photographic objects from the Civil War and Civil Rights movements, and plenty of modern and contemporary art to appreciate also.
