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!

This place is awesome. Tickets were $34 US per visit but that includes 2 days admission - which is REQUIRED because there is just too much to take in on a one day visit. We saw most of the exhibits but not all of them in a 4 hour stint, but we were wanting to see more but had to move on. The exhibits are beautiful and well explained. The glass blowing exhibition is 'good' but a bit slow as the glass objects are never seen when finished because they must go into an annealing furnace to cool. The explanation of the procedures is quite good. This is not a museum for children! - it would be BORING for them and you would not be able to appreciate the exhibits for fear of losing sight of them in one of the maze-like exhibit rooms. The gift-shop is very interesting as it displays and sells glass objects made by local artisans as well as imported objects and some 'pressed/molded kitchen style glassware. Prices were reasonable - but the effort to make the objects is reflected in the pricing.

Allan, thank you for all your kind words! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your visit to the museum and watching the live demonstrations. When you hear "Glass Museum" you may think bringing children wouldn't be a good idea. Thank again! We encourage those of all ages to visit the museum! Throughout our galleries we offer multiple scavenger hunts for everyone. Each activity encourages kids (and adults!) to use their investigator skills while exploring the Museums. We also recommend watching our many demonstrations and checking out our Innovations center where guests are able to dive into the science and technology of glass all while being able to interact with glass. Don't forget kids 17 and under visit the museum for free! Thank you again for taking the time to leave a review and for visiting. We hope to see you again soon!

Wow! Lots of unique glasswork throughout the museum. I know I'd visited probably in the early 80's--not sure what I saw then but now it is amazing! (think back then all I remember are the plates, lol). Guest glassblowers. You could watch them creating works of art all while a fellow glassblower explains it to you. Lots of shopping opportunities. Was surprised we were there close to 4 hours! AND not that we could due to our schedule, but your admission ticket is good for 2 days! Good deal!
