In spirit of the holiday season, join museum staff to explore our holiday paperweights! Together we’ll talk about holiday traditions, decorations, and celebrations that are important to us. We’ll use this inspiration to make our own holiday artwork to start a new holiday tradition for all of us!
https://bmmglass.com/product/spark-holiday-traditions/Join us in creating your own Poppy flower in remembrance and celebration of our veterans. Poppies, specifically red poppies, are symbols of remembrance, especially for those who died in war. This connection stems from the World Way I poem, “In Flanders Fields,”. The poem describes poppies growing on the graves of fallen soldiers.
