This place is a must see. A beautiful and interesting building with so much to see and do. Entry is very reasonably priced. The exhibits are thoughtfully laid out and movement around the building is easy. I loved being able to look at the history of glass and then see some contemporary pieces, especially from the TV show, Blown Away. The shop is like a whole different exhibition and we picked up some very nice pieces. The live demonstrations are a must-see and give a real insight into the process of glass making. The commentary to these demonstrations is informative, friendly and easy to understand. The highlight of the day though was being able to make our own glass ornaments. I would highly recommend booking to do that as soon as you arrive, slots are limited. We booked after we had seen most of the museum and had a long wait until our slot. We got to make a pumpkin and a flower with expert help from the wonderful staff. I cannot describe the sense of achievement that we both had and when we picked up the pieces the next day we were delighted with the results. They will take pride of place in our home in London.

What a gorgeous place to spend a day viewing, making and learning about glass! We toured both the modern and the historical glass exhibits, participated in two glass making projects and watched a demonstration of glass blowing. The gift shop is also a must see. Great food in the cafe and the building itself is visually interesting from both the inside and outside. My two kids (4&7) enjoyed it all as much as the adults and they participated in glass fusing and glass blowing.
