Austin’s Top 10 Most “Unique” Stained Glass Installations

Known for its eclectic landscape and vivacious music scene, Austin is truly a place rich in originality. And also, as many locals would argue, a place that celebrates the virtues of unique personalities and individualism. Just by walking down the sidewalk, you can see a wide range of local restaurants, art shops, music venues, and other businesses that are catered to the distinct style and taste of the many different people who live here.

It’s also where you can find some of the most creative and sometimes outlandish works of art. For individuals with funky style and eccentric taste, we’ve compiled this list of stained glass installations that keep Austin weird and will totally rock your universe.

1. Colorful Geometric Stained Glass

Is it a kaleidoscope view of a forest landscape with pine trees? Or is it just a somewhat organized explosion of cut up squares and circles created entirely from tubes of primary paint? We may never know. But whatever it is, we like it.

2. Texas Star Stained Glass
