Storie di fabbriche. Storie di famiglie. FRATELLI TOSO

Event organised by Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia

The Fratelli Toso glassworks, founded in 1854 on the initiative of the six Toso brothers, was one of the most renowned such firms in the artistic panorama of Murano in the 19th and 20th centuries. In 2024 it celebrated its 170th anniversary. For this special anniversary, Fratelli Toso presents itself again with a retrospective of its finest artistic output of the 20th century, recounted through the work of its artistic directors and designers and with a particular concern for one of the staples of its production, the murrina. The development of its murrine over time, the partnerships with important artists, the contributions of designers and master glassmakers: all this is narrated through the glass exhibits and the archival materials preserved by the family.
