Designed in 1939 for the Polish Pavilion at the New York World’s Fair, the stained glass could not be returned to Poland as the Second World War had broken out. Along with other artifacts from the pavilion, the stained glass became the core of the museum’s collections. Read the related article by Margaret (Peg) Strobel.
