Blair Lithophane Museum
In 2002 a collection of 2,300 Lithophanes that had been donated to the city of Toledo were used to establish a museum at the Toledo Botanical Gardens. The museum closed at the end of October 2019. The city agreed to relocate the museum by September 2020. As of January 2020, the museum had not confirmed future plans, beyond attempting to keep the collection in the city of Toledo.
