Abstract
National Museums Scotland was generously donated over 300 pieces of art and studio glass by the passionate collector, supporter, and promoter of contemporary glass Dan Klein (1938 – 2009), which he had amassed both separately, and alongside his partner Alan J. Poole. Klein notably championed the work of artists from Britain and Ireland for over 30 years, becoming lifelong friends with many, and is recognised for helping bring international recognition to British studio and art glass. Learn about Klein, his work in promoting glass as an art form, the creation of his collection, and its significance.
