The National Glass Museum consists of two old villa's, formerly belonging to the general and financial directors of the famous Leerdam Glass Factory. In 2010 the architects of bureau SLA renovated the villa's and connected them with four bridges. The half transparent bridges will house the complete depot of the museum, making it the first modern Dutch museum to permanently exhibit its' complete collection. The museum's display cases and the furniture were designed by Piet Hein Eek.

In my opinion the buildings situation got disturbingly "unclear" by the addition of metal-bridges to the renovated villas.
