Marc Chagall
The above stained glass was created by Marc Chagall and dedicated to the United Nations in 1964 as a memorial to Dag Hammarskjold, the second Secretary-General of the UN who died in a plane crash in 1961. The window was recently restored through the efforts of Maecenas World Patrimony Foundation (MWPF) in 2001 and a dedication for the restoration was planned that year. However, because of the tragic events of 911, the dedication was postponed until 2005. One day I hope to see this window in person as I have always loved stained glass murals and how they are brought to life with the light of the sun. 3 comments to Marc Chagall |

I have heard that this Chagall stained glass window is absolutely beautiful in person. I also hope to see it in person, as well.
Unless I’m mistaken, I believe I saw this stained glass at “The Biblical Museum of Marc Chagall”(Avenue Docteur-Menard, Nice 06000 France). If this specific mural is not there, you will still see some of his most beautiful murals and paintings, in a wonderful intimate museum.
Cheers-
