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). You can also search the gift shops for handmade glass treasures or grab a bite at the museum cafe. Spend as much time as you'd like at the museum touring at your own pace, and return the next day if you didn't get enough!

We have visited museums across the US and throughout Europe. The Corning Museum of Glass ranks with the best. The gallery of historic glass would require at least a day, possibly two, for a complete visit -- it is incredible. The demonstrators and other galleries are interesting, but not a match for the historic glass. There is a reason admission tickets are valid for two days -- you need two days. The shop is a serious problem -- leave your credit cards and cash with someone before entering the shop! You will find fantastic pieces of glass and will not be able to resist the temptations.

Wow, we're so honored that you rank us among the best museum that you have been to! We are an easy stop on most itineraries through New York state and offer truly atypical museum experiences through our Make Your Own Glass program. It sounds like you really enjoyed our collections, which spans across the 35 centuries of glassmaking. Next time, you should try to visit our Rakow Library, which is the largest library dedicated to glassmaking, to delve deeper into your interests in historic glass. Thanks for your review, we hope to see you again soon!

Really interesting museum which offers lots of exhibits, performances and interactive programs. My husband and I enjoyed learning about glass and taking in the beautiful art. At the end, we both made our own glass (flower and bulb). They turned out nice and serve as a reminder of our awesome trip

I was not expecting this to be as great as it was, and my kids certainly were not looking forward to it - but they were really surprised with how much fun they had (they are 8 and 5), and we all had a blast. We could have spent a day here if we had the time, but we were driving back to NYC from Niagara falls so we only had a few hours. Highly recommend!
