The World Largest Tiffany Glass Dome

Inside Chicago's grandest building sits the largest stained-glass dome ever created by Tiffany. This massive masterpiece is composed of over 30,000 individual glass pieces arranged in a breathtaking pattern.

When this building opened in 1897, it served as the city's main public library. The architect chose the Tiffany dome as a symbol of opulence and civic pride for the reading room. Even today, the vibrant colors shimmer beautifully regardless of the weather outside. It remains a hidden gem for visitors who often walk right past it while heading to nearby parks.
