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).

We took 2 teens to the museum for a day trip, and had a lot of fun with the teen scavenger hunt (although we lost it each time the phone time out) and the search for the rainbow. The variety of creations was amazing. Each of our teens made a flower or bulb. It was great!

We strive to make the Museum a place of learning and wonder for everyone of all ages and it sounds like you think we accomplished that. We hope you will treasure the glass souvenirs that you made for years to come! Thanks again!

Wasn't sure what to expect at a glass museum but I was very impressed! It was easy to navigate and there were several live glass blowing shows that are well worth your time. We only had about 2 hours to give the museum so we couldn't sign up for the glass blowing event to make our own item. I highly recommend fitting it into your schedule and there are enough interactive things i think kids could enjoy it as well.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share about your visit! Many visitors come not knowing what to expect but are quickly turned into fans so you are not alone! For your next visit, don't forget that our admission is good for two consecutive days, so you can see it all. Thank you again!

When in the Walkkins Glen/Corning New York area visiting the Corning glass museum is a highlight. There is ample free parking at the Corning Museum. I believe there is a shuttle bus to the museum from the various parking lots or you can walk across the street or two to get there. Inside the museum is quite modern handful of glass! There are multiple levels/floors of the museum. Exhibits are beautiful, and they have three theaters where there are presentations of the art of glass blowing. Some of the theaters are small and there’s one big large auditorium theater. In all theaters the demonstration of glass is narrated and demonstrated. There are also little small stations of artisans creating various types of blown glass at various scheduled times throughout your day there. There is a very large gift shop center where you can buy trinkets and glass wear and other items. There’s also a large café that you can have lunch and plenty of restrooms. Plan to spend several hours at the museum to see everything. Would go back when in the area next time!
