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).

Extremely interesting museum. Much more interesting than I thought it would be. Very helpful staff. Demonstrations were fantastic and the exhibits are informative. Great for anyone, even those without specific interest in glassmaking.

A truly amazing Museum! It’s a sensory and intellectual overload. You have to force yourself to be reminded that everything is made of glass. And so many ancient pieces that were made centuries ago. Well worth the trip. Could have spent more time exploring. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Go to the Corning Glass Museum.

Thank you for taking the time to share about your recent visit with us! It sounds like you had a great day visiting the museum. We do recommend two to three hours to go through our museum and watch the multiple live demonstrations we offer throughout the day. Although we have many guest who spend the whole day at our museum! Don't forget admission tickets are good for two days, so if you are not able to see everything your first day, you can come back for another exciting day at the museum. We hope you visit us again soon!

It was amazing to see shhe ideas of so many glass artists come to life. We loved seeing the Blown Away pieces in real life. The demonstrations were engaging and interesting. Learning about the history of glass, and the museums acknowledgement that it is very Eurocentric (and changing that perspective) was all fascinating.
