Chicago Cultural Center

Preston Bradley Hall in the Chicago Cultural Center is covered by a dome of Tiffany glass installed in 1897. Composed of thousands of pieces of iridescent glass, it is claimed to be the largest dome of its kind in the world, and is a good place to see how Tiffany’s opalescent glass behaves in daylight.
