Nasu Stained Glass Museum

Nasu Stained Glass Museum

Made in the motif of the UK's Cotswolds aristocracy manor house, this small museum shaped like a castle was painstakingly constructed using only the finest materials.  The exhibits include antique stained glass from the 1800s. Particularly popular are, the stained glass produced by the glass studio artist Tiffany, and the glass that is inspired by the Biblical wall decorations of St. Raphael Chapel. Inside the building antique pipe organ music is played live for your enjoyment during the stained glass viewing, every day. Additionally the St. Gabriel Chapel has a concert weekly (on weekends) with a variety of musical instruments, so weekend visits are recommended. This building also has a café where you can enjoy a meal and traditional British tea."
