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).

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!

I'm a 46-year-old man and my son is 19 and we both said that we would have loved to return for the second day on our ticket and another couple of hours of noodling around. When the art wasn't stunning, it's because it was a history exhibit. When the history waned, the art was amazing. The glass breaking demonstration was meh, but the woman who made a small glass dog before our eyes was truly something to watch, even if it was super-bright. We also opted to sandblast a couple of glasses that we decorated which was a fun experience. I'd urge others to make something while they are there. And as far as gift shops go, I'd put this one against any other in America. Plenty of glasswork from local artists available from a couple dollars to a couple thousand. This is truly one of the great museums of America.

Thank you so much for your review! It sounds like you had an opportunity to explore the galleries and gravitate towards what appealed to you! That is exactly what we hope for, that every guest finds something that interests them and allows them to have a fun experience. The Museum Shop is currently decorated for the season and the variety of the items for sale is constantly evolving. It's a great place to shop for a gift! Thank you once again for your review and we hope you come again soon!

This place was on my bucket list for a few years and I got to share my experience with my daughter and two grandsons!! I watch Blown Away and was so excited to see the pieces on display.

Thank you for visiting the Museum and leaving us a review. We are glad that you were able to share your "bucket list" experience with your family! Isn't it incredible to be able to see the Blown Away Season 3 pieces! Hope you can visit again soon.

We loved the museum ! First of all, there are a large number of extensive exhibits to tour. The venue is open, airy and serene. I particularly liked the history of glass making and many of the ancient pieces accompanying it. Virtually any famous glassmaker you can think of has pieces in various sections. The cafe is also terrific for lunch or a snack. Lots of hot options including soups, sandwiches, entrees and pizzas. Leave at least 3 hours to visit!
