The Neustadt Collection serves the public on a local and national level through its permanent exhibition space at the Queens Museum of Art, Queens, New York, and ongoing exhibitions that travel to museums and galleries throughout the country. The institutional partnership with the Queens Museum is significant as the museum is located just blocks from where Tiffany created the objects now in Neustadt's holdings. The Collection utilizes this connection through educational programming to enrich the local community's understanding of its artistic heritage; programs include gallery talks and lectures, docent training, and curriculum planning with elementary schools.
Incorporated in 1969, the mission of The Neustadt Collection of Tiffany Glass is to preserve, interpret, and develop its holdings of Tiffany lamps, windows, sheet and pressed glass, and related objects. The Neustadt Collection fosters a better understanding of Louis Comfort Tiffany and the American decorative arts by regularly traveling exhibitions to museums and galleries around the country. The Collection conducts and supports research and scholarship focusing on the history of Tiffany, his businesses, materials, and their context as well as issues of conservation and changing technology. The Collection also issues publications in all formats and organizes educational programs for the public.
Various works by Tiffany Studios, including leaded-glass and blown-glass lamps, leaded glass windows, metalwork, sheet glass and pressed glass.
Approximately 275,000 pieces of sheet and pressed glass are included in the Collection and are currently being catalogued. An innovative part of this process has been establishing criteria and descriptive terminology that can be referenced by both the craft of stained glass and the field of decorative arts. A permanent archive is being established for display and study.
The Neustadt Collection, in conjunction with the Queens Museum of Art, offers programs including gallery talks and lectures, docent training, and curriculum planning with elementary schools.
