The Toledo Museum of Art Glass Pavilion, completed in 2006, was designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa of SANAA. Built as an all-glass structure for a museum whose founding is rooted in Toledo's glassmaking industry, the pavilion makes its material choice a direct statement of the city's identity.
