Introduction

Murano is the world-famous glass-art island in the Venetian lagoon. This small island, carrying centuries of exquisite glass craft, is famed for its brilliant handmade glass art, a unique, gorgeous sight in Venice. Murano, in the central lagoon, is the world-famous island of glass art, renowned for its centuries-old, exquisite handmade glass (Venetian glass, Murano glass). Centuries ago, to prevent fire and protect and monopolize the precious glass craft, the Republic of Venice moved all city glass workshops to this island, making Murano the center and cradle of Venetian glass art, its craft passed down for generations. The island still has many glass workshops and shops: visitors can enter a glass furnace and watch the astonishing hand-blown glass technique, a skilled craftsman takes a glowing red blob from the furnace and, with a pipe and deft moves, spins, blows and pulls it into lifelike glass art (horses, vases, vessels), breathtaking. Shops and museums display brilliant, gorgeous handmade glass art, from chandeliers and vases to delicate jewelry, crystalline and colorful. Visiting Venice and the glass-art island Murano to admire the breathtaking glass art is a gorgeous sight.
