One of my stops while at the Toledo Art Museum was its gift shop. It is a large gift shop with a…read morewide variety of items for sale. They have books, jewelry, home decor and other items which I will state would make great gifts for yourself or loved ones. The most beautiful items are in the back. They have a large selection of glass artwork and items for sale. The problem with the gift shop, it is extremely pricey! I expect some of the glass items to be expensive, but I could find no inexpensive items anywhere in the store! Moreover, I have shopped in a glass studio in Toledo that had much more reasonable prices for their glass items. I understand I am sure these sales benefit the museum and I do not begrudge them that, but have some things on the cheaper end as well.

They have glass candle holders, glasses, glass decor, glass Christmas ornaments, tons of glass type items. They are reasonably priced, considering that they are made in house by their artisans. They can be a unique gift to gift to friends, loved ones, or heck to yourself! I bought a few glass candy cane ornaments to put on my tree on Christmas. I also bought this beautiful Asian style looking blue vase which goes great with the rest of the decor in my living room! Gathered Glassblowing Studio also provides classes in glassblowing, alas I did not have time to do that. Still, that is pretty cool!

They have some bird books and guides that I found to be useful as the area is known for warblers and shorebirds. There is a large replica of the Toledo harbor lighthouse with little models that you can purchase.

Be careful taking the kids in: there are tons of stuffed toys at ground level for them to get attached to! Great marketing. Haha. I looked around for a while but didn't buy anything. The Toledo lighthouse miniatures are pretty neat. It's not a typical looking lighthouse and would make a good addition to any lighthouse collection for its unique shape.

If you have ever wondered what the shop is like, ever felt a nudge of your own to stop by, please do so. You won't regret it. And you won't find a better selection of crystals in Northwest Ohio.

I am writing to thank you for the extra effort you put into making these arrangements so beautiful and also giving value for the money spent. My mom would send photos of what she received and I was always pleased with how generous the bouquets were. You sent the final one - the Rose Lily arrangement - to her funeral service. It was stunning as always and a gorgeous final tribute to a remarkable human being. Thank you all for being the floral conduit that lets family members know they matter and are missed by those of us who can't be with them all the time. And thank you for being a company of integrity and honesty. Because I live in another state, I've experienced florists who take advantage of that by sending less than what was advertised or what I ordered, I suppose because they thought I wouldn't actually see the delivered product. That never happened with Bartz Viviano and you should be proud of that. My mom truly loved flowers and you always delivered the best. Thank you to all of your caring and talented staff.

As is the glass museum across the street, this museum is free to visit. The exhibits here are world class and include a massive array of art over a 4,000+ year time frame. We also enjoyed the sculpture works outside the museum. I mean, who the hell doesn't want to get on a huge tire swing, play musical instruments or lay on a hammock made of glass?! Just blown away amazed with this place! Thank you!!!
