The collection of window glass of the Abbey museum Ten Duinen 1138 is one of the largest archaeological window glass collections in North Western Europe. This important collection was longtime unnoticed and heavily impaired by weathering and poor storage conditions. Recently the collection is being revalued by conservation and scientific research, offering new perspectives for similar collections in North Western Europe.
