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!

The facility is clean and parking is ok. The shop, like typical museums, is way overpriced. The food court offers ok food for a premium price. The exhibits themselves are laid out well. The new addition is horrifically bland (entirely white). The exhibits in this white area are "neat". I get art is in the eye of the beholder but some most of it you can find in any local elementary school. I personally like history and found that section more interesting but underwhelming. If glass is your thing then I guess you'd find this museum more interesting. My advice is to avoid the Make Your Own Glass section at all costs. It is grossly overpriced and offers an underwhelming experience. We had our kids etch a glass cup (very fragile and cheap cup) and make their own ornament. It was a bit of a zoo and felt like cattle being jammed through a gate. I get it, cram the schedule and make that profit but dont sell this to the consumer as if it's some personalized hands on learning experience. They rush you in and out with some garbage ornament in minutes. It's noisy, busy, chaotic, and a money grab for the museum...nothing more.
