The Myrna and Sheldon Palley Pavilion for Contemporary Glass and Studio Arts houses a stunning $3.5 million glass collection with masterpieces by Dale Chihuly, Richard Jolley, William Carlson, Howard Ben Tré, José Chardiet, Dan Dailey, Michael Glancy, Harvey Littleton, Steven Weinberg, Stanislav Libenský, and Lino Tagliapietra, as well as ceramics by some of the most talented international artists.

The Palley Pavilion opened on May 1, 2008 thanks to the vision of long-time University supporters and alumni, Sheldon and Myrna Palley, who donated $1.7 million towards the construction of the Pavilion, and whose collection is a promised gift. This is the first major addition to the Lowe in twelve years.

Showcased in the 4,000 square foot gallery space are over one hundred objects, not only from the Palley collection, but from other generous collectors as well.
