Beyond Broken Windows: Baseball in <strong>Glass</strong><br />
Scott Darlington and John Miller blow away the notion<br />
that baseball and glass don’t play well together. Miller’s<br />
outrageously large versions of ballpark food include hot dogs<br />
big enough to make Babe Ruth blush, and french fries you<br />
could swat a home run with. Darlington’s playful takes on<br />
the iconic elements of America’s pastime offer a fresh, fun<br />
perspective on the sport. Don’t miss this double play by<br />
two old glass-blowing buddies who want to take you out<br />
to the ballgame. From the Speed <strong>Art</strong> Museum, historical<br />
whiskey bottles have been selected from the Robinson<br />
Brown Collection. These historical bottles are coupled<br />
with contemporary art glass bottles.<br />

Bottles and Bourbon: Then and Now<br />
For over one hundred years, glass has been the choice material<br />
to bottle spirits. <strong>Glass</strong>’ ability to provide an uncontaminated<br />
environment is obviously important in protecting the precious<br />
