ABOUT
Glass House
Built by architect Philip Johnson in 1949, the house is an essay in minimal structure, geometry, proportion, and the effects of transparency and reflection. The pastoral 49-acre landscape comprises 14 structures, including the Glass House, and features a permanent collection of 20th-century painting and sculpture. Other structures include the Studio, Brick House, Ghost House, Pavilion in the Pond, three vernacular buildings, monuments, two galleries, and the 1995 Da Monsta. Students, scouts, homeschoolers, and campers can enjoy guided tours of the property.
