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).

“Blown Away!” I’d been decades ago with my parents and didn’t remember much except being thrilled with the glass making presentation. Decades later my husband and I scheduled a trip to the Finger Lakes area and whatever else we did, visiting this was a must. Not only was that demonstration thrilling, but so are others and the exhibits. Everything from Wine and Glass, to the production of bottles on a large scale, Tiffany lamps, incredibly expressive artistic pieces, awesome glassware and so much more. We bought a 2 ticket that will let us return again tomorrow and I’m so glad. We’d had a long drive, and also wanted to check into our hotel and rest, and by mid afternoon after just a super light breakfast we were starving. We could have eaten in the cafe there, but we wanted something very hardy. Just a peek into the gift shop has me yearning to really explore and there still exhibits we didn’t get to see. One thing I want to comment on is that there were families with children of varying ages. All of them seemed engaged in exhibits. Truly there seems to be something for everyone. I am thrilled to have had the chance to return!

Wow! Thanks for visiting and for the compliments! It sounds like you had the perfect two days here in Corning! With a mission to inspire visitors to see glass in a new light, we try to offer a range of offerings to pique anyone's interests. It sounds like you loved a lot of what we had to offer. As you pointed out, there's a lot to see and do. That's why two days of consecutive admission comes with every ticket so visitors can explore at their own pace. Again, thank you for visiting and for your wonderful review! We hope to see you again soon!

This was my second visit to the Corning Museum of Glass and the museum/ exhibits are exceptional. The museum contains a contemporary glass art exhibit, glass sculpture studio (demonstrating the art of glass blowing), industrial applications/ history of glass, and historic glass galleries (over 2,500 years of glass blowing). We spent over 4 hours on our visit and could have easily stayed several hours longer. There is a massive gift shop and cafeteria on the ground floor. The price of admission is very reasonable and a great value for the money. Definitely a destination visit for any art lover.

It is an amazing museum and we loved all of it, but especially the museum collection of the history of glass, and the 2 live demonstrations of glass making. Great experience
