# Paperweights | Museum Glass Dome

### Magic Inside A Glass Dome Paperweight

Museumize's **glass dome paperweights** place a museum painting under glass and onto a desk. 

The format of museum art paperweights has two lineages. One is the nineteenth-century glass paperweight, a European desk object first made in Venice and France in the 1840s and prized ever since for the way colored glass catches light. The other is the museum gift shop tradition of miniature reproduction, which lets visitors take a small, accurate version of a painting home. 

The current lineup includes many artists, such as **Vincent van Gogh's _Irises_**, **Gustav Klimt's _The Kiss_**, and **M.C. Escher's tessellated designs**, three artists working in entirely different traditions, each faithfully represented in scale and color.
