These are beautiful. If you’re near Massachusetts, you can see 58 beautiful Leopold and Rudolph Blaschka marine invertebrate models in a stunning exhibition, Sea Creatures in Glass on display at the Harvard Museum of Natural History on the University campus in Cambridge, MA. The exhibit is the first display in Cambridge since the 19th century of the 429 Blaschka marine models in the collections of the University’s Museum of Comparative Zoology. Some will remain on display, along with the world famous Harvard “Glass Flowers” created by the same Blaschka father-son team, but the Sea Creatures exhibition will close March 1, 2009.

Those are glass?!

How the hell did they make those Octopuses (Octopi – or rather, Octopodes since it’s a Greek root)?

Beautiful!

Looks like Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka. Here's a photo I took of some glass rotifers at the American Museum of Natural History.
