What To Expect

Corning Museum of Glass

Showcasing more than 3,500 years of glassmaking history, the Corning Museum of Glass features nearly 50,000 pieces of classic and contemporary glass art and objects. See works ranging from a small Egyptian pharaoh head to an enormous Tiffany window, and discover the wonder and artistry behind glassmaking. Explore the stunning day-lit Contemporary Art + Design Wing, which houses the best of the last 25 years in glass, and a 500-seat Amphitheater Hot Shop, a space dedicated to live glass demos and design sessions. See glass created before your eyes during a live, narrated Hot Glass Demo, and be inspired to experience glassmaking for yourself during a Make Your Own Glass workshop, with projects for all ages. Choose from fused picture frames and suncatchers, sandblasted drinking glasses, flameworked beads, pulled-glass flowers, delicate blown ornaments, and seasonal projects (additional fee).

The Glass Blowing demonstration was our favorite part of this Museum, I actually devoted a 1 /2 day of my trip to Corning Museum of Glass and I don't think I really needed it, my Grandmother was an avid collector of fine glass antiques and the interest has been passed down to me starting at a young age, I expected to be wow'ed and I wasn't, I thought I could see and learn more about vaseline, crackle, cranberry and bubble glass but instead there are big empty room devoted to NEW GLASS with no explanation or history. Just wasn't impressed.

Thanks for visiting and for leaving a review. We're sorry to hear that you weren't impressed. New Glass Now is a temporary exhibition that surveys the current landscape of contemporary glass. A description of the exhibition is described on some of the walls of the Contemporary Art + Design Galleries, but we understand if contemporary glass isn't what excites you. We have several other spaces dedicated to the history of the material and glassmaking. It sounds like you may have missed our 35 Centuries of Glass Galleries, which contains objects representing every country and historical period in which glassmaking has been practiced. As well, our campus also houses the Rakow Library, which is the foremost library on glassmaking and may have provided you with the historical information you were looking for through the help of our knowledgeable librarians. We hope you may reconsider visiting again to explore all that we have to offer on the history of glass.

Driving back from Niagara falls towards Boston, we made a slight detour to visit this Corning museum. Probide about 3 hours to get a good overview of how various forms of glass are made. There are libe demonstrations which are worth watching..history of glass is traced actoss different countries and centuries. It was educational as well as fascinating..

Thank you for making a small detour to see us on your way to Boston! Next time make sure to try your hand out at creating glass yourself through our Make Your Own Glass program, where you get to work directly with the material to create your own pieces of art. We hope to see you again soon!
