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 heard about the Corning Museum of Glass several years ago when we watched Corning demos of glass blowing on Celebrity Cruise ships. Now that we were traveling in the Finger Lakes area, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to visit. The museum was more fascinating and beautiful than I had imagined. Definitely plan on spending several hours or more at the museum. The architecture of the museum fits the beauty of the glass exhibits. Each section of the museum introduces magnificent items, including the Contemporary Art + Design Gallery, the Ben W. Heineman Sr. Family Gallery of Contemporary Glass, and 35 Centuries of Glass (what a history lesson!). Chihuly, Littleton, Tiffany, Murano, Frank Lloyd Wright, Steuben glass, and more.

The glass blowing demos (vase and pumpkin), the innovation displays ( windshields, glass floors) and the different displays in the museum ( different time periods) were great and enjoyable More demos would make my experience more knowledge learning.

My family and I really loved going to this museum. The art work is amazing. A lot of interesting facts on glass and great presentations on glass making such as blowing and torching. Must make reservations well in advance for glassmaking activities. Otherwise sells out within days of the trip.
