One hundred and one polychrome glass objects dating to the first centuries BCE and CE and including 65 mosaic glass b…
Shattered glass of Beirut
The Archaeological Museum at the American University of Beirut (AUB) lies approximately 3 km west of the main port of Beirut, the site of the massive explosion that sent a catastrophic shockwave through the city on 4 August 2020. A display case containing Classical and early Islamic period glass vessels was smashed against the museum’s stone floor, shattering 72 vessels into thousands of shards.
