The second floor Main Gallery of the museum contains the other main exhibit, "Aspirations in Glass". Here, in the large former library reading room, with its twenty-one foot (seven meter) high wood vaulted ceiling, visitors can view many beautiful and massive stained glass windows salvaged from storm-damaged, and demolished churches in Western Illinois. The largest window features Jesus Christ as the Good Shepard knocking at the door, from the Macomb Unitarian-Universalist Church. It towers twenty feet (6.6 meters) tall over the room.
