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).

Plan ahead as you are given a 2 day pass to the museum. There is a lot to see and many interactive exhibits, demonstrations and activities to do at the museum. There is a history of glass and all the ways Corning glass has been involved in shaping our future with glass. Great for families and everyone!

This was not the museum I was expecting. I thought more of it would be dedicated to the history of glass, Corning in particular, and not a glass art museum. For me, just too much "art". I enjoyed the glass blowing demonstrations, etc. The cafeteria is worth the visit, so plan to have lunch there. There is a very large gift shop but most of the items do not come from Corning Glass. I was surprised. Bring your walking shoes.

Thank you for visiting the largest museum of glass in the world that is dedicated to telling the story of glass. With collections covering the art, history, and science of glass, and daily live demonstrations, we strive to offer something for every interest area. It sounds like the hot glass demonstration was definitely the highlight of the visit for you. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us! We hope to see you again!

Great museum, with lots to look at and tons of information!Glass making demonstrations throughout the day are great, cameras show close-up what artists are doing as a narrator explains it all. We also did a make-your-own glass-blowing sculpture…it is not hands-on at all. Save your money with that part of the experience (unless you have kids), but the museum is definitely a worthy stop!

Thanks so much for visiting the museum and taking the time to write a review. We are so glad you enjoyed your time at the museum, especially our live demonstrations. Our live demos tend to be a fan favorite! We’re sorry the Make Your Own Glass experience did not live up to your expectations. We have had to modify our Make Your Own Glass offerings due to current COVID-19 protocols. We are always evaluating our current practices to make sure the experience is as safe and enjoyable as possible to our visitors. We’ll make sure to pass along your comments to our studio staff. We hope to see you again soon!
