Large stained glass globe
This three-story stained glass globe depicts the world before World War II. It was built in 1935, and now, when you step inside, you can hear a narration that seems to tell you about the past. The glass and light combine to create an echo chamber effect, giving you a unique experience. Check out the globe, which was created based on a world map from 1935!
