Remove glass mosaic?

[Broens]

Hello!
Looking for tips on the best way to tear down glass mosaic.
Tried with a crowbar and hammer, okay, it works but it's tough work.
The worst part was the glass splinters flying everywhere
Does anyone out there have a good tip on how to avoid this?
Thinking about cutting/milling out sections of the drywall and dismantling the wall in pieces to avoid chipping off the mosaic; the drywall needs to be replaced anyway.

Anyone with better suggestions?

If the boards still have to come down, it must be easiest to just crack them in half and pry them loose. Tape plastic over them to avoid splinters.

Is the board behind also going to be torn down? If so, start on that side and break out the boards. You'll feel like someone on Extreme Home Makeover.

If the panels need to come down anyway, it must be easiest to just snap the panels in half and pry them loose. Tape plastic over them to avoid splinters.

Is the panel behind also being torn down? If so, start on that side and knock out the panels. You'll feel like someone in Extreme Home Makeover.

Thanks for the tip!
