What would our world look like without glass? | Masterpieces of glass

Glass is omnipresent, but what if it wasn't there - what would our world look like without it? In our video, curator Dr Sabine Tiedtke provides fascinating insights into how glass not only shapes our everyday lives, but also influences the development of our culture. Why is glass so crucial to the way we live, eat and conduct scientific research?
Find out more about the diversity of glass, which fulfils different functions in different areas of life and is used in an impressively wide range of ways. Sabine Tiedtke also explains why certain types of glass have an iridescent surface and how this effect was artificially created in Art Nouveau.
You can discover more about the world of glass in our special exhibition "Masterpieces of Glass" at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum. You can find all the information about the exhibition here: www.gnm.de/you...
