The Glassworks Museum of the Ore Mountains ((ドイツ語:Glashüttenmuseum des Erzgebirges)) is located in the old socage vault (''Fronfeste'') of Purschenstein Castle in Neuhausen/Erzgeb. in the German Free State of Saxony. The museum displays include a glassworks from the time of Georgius Agricola, as well as a workshop (''Werkstattstube'') and other writing implements and tools of Ore Mountain glassmakers as well as the history of Neuhausen and Purschenstein Castle. In addition there are demonstrations of glass blowing. == Museum == The glassworks museum in Neuhausen preserves evidence of the work of glassmakers in the Ore Mountains, an industry that goes back to the original settlement of the area around 1200 and includes work from both the Saxon and Bohemian regions of the Ore Mountains. The significance of these glassworks had an impact far beyond the Ore Mountain region. This is also true of the old Neuhausen glassworks of Heidelbach, founded in 1488, which worked until about 1827 and is represented in the exhibition. In the Heidelbach glassworks, in addition to simple everyday glasses and plate glass and high-quality glass work was also carried out. For example, the glass factory belonged to the purveyors of glas to the Saxon electors and other noble houses. "The Four Evangelists", four round panes of glasse painted with enamel, made for Purschenstein's castle chapel and dating to the year 1612, may be seen in the exhibition. The Glassworks Museum portrays an almost extinct, traditional craft. The exhibition shows the diversity of the glass as a material and the possibilities in terms of colour, shape and finish. On display are historic everyday glasses as well as special glass pieces, such as the round glass panes of 1612 and an Ore Mountain chandelier (''Leuchterspinnen''), over a hundred years old. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Glassworks Museum of the Ore Mountains」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
