Barbara Giesicke Gallery

I've never seen a gallery devoted only to stained glass, unless it was attached to a working studio. The closest I've seen are galleries showcasing glass that have some stained glass as well. I found out recently that there is, in Germany, the Gallery Barbara Giesicke, that deals exclusively with stained glass art, from the 16th century to the present.

Check out all the online galleries. The 20th-21st century gallery features works By Schreiter, Stockhausen, etc. All great stuff, still, I think I like the 16th-17th century gallery best. I just can't get enough of those little Swiss panels.
