16th International Symposium on Boat & Ship Archaeology

131 Zadar, Croatia | 26 September – 1 October 2021 Museum of Ancient Glass, Zadar The Museum of Ancient Glass in Zadar, located in a renewed historic Cosmacen- di palace from the second half of the 19 th century, is a specialized archeological museum and a center of study of ancient, primarily Roman-era glass finds. The permanent museum display contains over two thousand glass objects which il- lustrate the everyday use of glass in households, the importance of glass in the production of cosmetic and medicinal substances, and the use of glass containers in funerary rites. The production of glass jewelry and trade exchange is presented over a relatively broad chronological range from the 1 st to 4 th centuries AD. In the Museum there are two glass-working workshops and a glass-blowing workshop for making glass objects. The possibility of direct access to the process of making various glass items, as well as direct communication with glass masters, is certainly one of the most important and attractive offerings in the museum. https://www.mas-zadar.hr/en
