Permanent collection
The basis of the collection was collected by Jan van der Togt with the advice of Jan Verschoor. Over the years the collection has been extended with acquisitions and thanks to donations. The collection’s main focus is on modern sculptural glass art from the 20th and 21st century. The cast and cut glass works from countries like the Czech Republic and Slovakia by artists such as Stanislav Libenský and Jaroslava Brychtová, Vaclav Cigler and Bohumil Eliáš form an important part of the collection. In addition to the cast and cut glass objects, various other techniques are shown such as blown glass.
Watch the video where Museum JAN director Marieke Uildriks shows shows you the highlights of the exhibition ‘Schitterend glas - 30 jaar Museum JAN’.
