Beautiful tiles. I especially like the green. I didn't see those when I was there. The others remind me of a kaleidoscope. Enjoy.

That glazed green tile was commonly used in US cities in the 1920's. There are some beautiful examples and Chicago, and we have some on our house in St. Louis.

those deep green glass brick tiles are gorgeous, there is a house in Sintra that is entirely covered in them

Back in the early-mid 1980s we lived in T.S. Eliot's house in the CWE. All the fireplaces (including 2 on the 3rd floor!) had those same glazed green tiles surrounding. I love them.

All of the tiles you photographed are amazing. I can only imagine what a wonderful day it will be when you get to that museum....
