With a collection 700 models bought in 1888, the Corning Museum of Glass boasts the largest known collection of Blaschka sea creatures. Displayed (at least in part) in an exhibition named Fragile Legacy, "researchers at Cornell are using the collection as a time capsule for seeking out and documenting the creatures still living in our oceans today." Corning's exhibit also allows visitors to try crafting glass sea slugs as well as view subsequent works inspired by the Blaschkas. The exhibit was open through January 8, 2017. The Corning Museum of Glass produced a film entitled Fragile Legacy exploring the related topics of the Glass sea creatures and the living ones they represent.
