Friday Featured Art: Arthur Rubloff Paperweight Collection
One of the little-known collections at the Art Institute is down in the basement. The Arthur Rubloff Paperweight Collection includes over 1500 incredible glass paperweights. Apparently, paperweights were wildly popular in the mid-19th century when people were writing lots of letters. I especially like the millefiori ones.

I don't know if it would ruin them, but they should move them into a sunny room somewhere. It would be really cheerful to see them lit up.
