The museum website continues to be updated with new exhibits. The "Western European Art Glass and Ceramics" section has been recently replenished with the works by Daum Frères manufactory – one of the major French glass workshops of the late 19^th – early 20^th centuries, based in Nancy and closely linked to the École de Nancy movement. 
The cultural and historical significance of Daum Frères lies not only in its commercial success but also in its role in shaping the visual aesthetics of the early 20^th century – the manufactory's items serve as a source of information about the tastes, technologies, and artistic connections of the era.

Technological innovation was the foundation of Daum Frères work: master craftsmen perfected techniques of multilayered glass and cameo etching, and later pioneered the pâte de verre (glass paste) process. They achieved textured, colored surfaces by removing upper layers through acid treatment. These methods provided deep texture, soft color transitions, and an effect similar to a miniature bas-relief, making the manufactory's products easily recognizable.

The firm maintained its name and business profile throughout the 20^th and 21^st centuries, undergoing restructuring, commercial transformation, and recognition as museum heritage.

At various times, Daum collaborated with artisans and artists such as Louis Majorelle, Georges Braque, and Salvador Dalí; more recently, they have worked with contemporary designers like Hilton McConnico (1943-2018), Tamara Kvesitadze  (1968 – present), and others.

In the 21^st century, Daum continues to maintain its status as an iconic brand in the decorative art glass segment, blending its Art Nouveau heritage with contemporary design practices. The manufactory's legacy is actively exhibited in regional and international museums, including the Musée de l’École de Nancy and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs.
