The Glass Heart at Two Temple Place | EXHIBISH

The Glass Heart

Two Temple Place

A fascinating look at glasswork within a stunning location.

Content

On display are a wide variety of glass artworks, representing the medium within the UK over the past couple hundred years.

Arranged in categories, pieces are accompanied with digestible information to understand their significance both artistically and technically.

The range of what's on display is the strength of the exhibition, providing a good overview without getting too detailed in any one area. Though of course those more familiar with glass may wish for a deeper look at things.

The pieces chosen for each category are quite fascinating, and highly varied, offering something for everyone.

Presentation

The setting for the exhibition is Two Temple Place which could be a ticketed attraction in its own right. I found myself distracted with the wood work of the building's interior along with its own impressive stained glass windows.

The works are presented with a really good level of information, enough to understand what's important about the pieces without being overloaded in detail.

The venue is a little squishy and confusing moving between the galleries, but the galleries themselves are well spaced and relaxing to look around.
