Egon Neustadt opens a Long Island City warehouse to sort his hoard of Tiffany glass
Egon and Hildegard Neustadt, Austrian immigrants, began collecting Tiffany in 1935 after buying a daffodil lampshade. In 1967 Egon bought more than 250,000 flat and pressed-glass pieces used by Tiffany Studios, and two years later the private Neustadt Collection opened in a Long Island City warehouse. There his team catalogued the shards by color, type, texture and pattern.

The rarely open Tiffany glass warehouse lets visitors in for Open House New York
The Neustadt Collection, an independent nonprofit, seldom admits the public to its Long Island City warehouse, opening at most a few days a year. In 2018 it briefly opened its doors for the Open House New York program. Since 1995 some of its finest pieces have been shown in a permanent Tiffany gallery at the Queens Museum instead.
