glass Tiles, a restoration project

glass tile restoration project for Gemeentemuseum Den Haag, Municipal Museum in the Hague
commissioned by OCW Den Haag

the architect H.P. Berlage made extensive use of natural light throughout the Municipal Museum
the rooms underneath the lecture hall are lit with daylight through the use of an optical phenomenon incorporated in glass tiles
the glass tiles needed replacement and Vrij Glas reproduced the original colour, a straw-green tone with an occasional bubble like in the original tiles

the Vrij Glas foundation has previously restored historical glass by Berlage and other architects
