The Gelman Stained Glass Museum in San Juan, Texas, is home to the most comprehensive collection of stained-glass windows in the United States. This 16,000 square foot state-of-the-art museum, replicates the Latin-cross cruciform architecture of European medieval cathedrals, providing a sacred setting for these antique stained-glass windows salvaged from deteriorating churches around the country. The windows on display represent the most renowned manufacturers of 19th and 20th Century American and European stained-glass art. With over 170 antique windows, the collection consists of works from Tiffany Studios, John LaFarge, Lamb Studios, Mary Tillinghast, and pieces from the German Munich styles by Franz Meyer and F. X. Zettler. This museum has also rescued other religious relics such as antique altars, baptismal fonts, and statues, giving a sacred church-like ambiance for the public to experience.
