The glass work of Leopold and Rudolph Blaschka, now on display at the Harvard Museum of Natural History in an exhibit titled "Sea Creatures in Glass," includes jellyfish, anemones, sea slugs, polyps and many other specimens.

Nearly 60 glass models of marine invertebrates made by Blaschka and his father, Leopold, now exhibited at the Harvard Museum of Natural History, reveal the peerless skill of two differently tempered artisans who created wondrous art.
