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).

Really worth the trip. Excellent, interesting and fun place to spend time. Beautiful works of art. Interesting history of glass as well as the science of working with glass. Fun demonstrations. Well organized exhibits. The collections are huge and a bit of overload to try to take it all in during one visit. Probably worth several visits if you have the time and opportunity. But well worth it no matter how you approach how you do it. The gift shop is total overload with much of it dedicated to small touristy items but toward the back they have incredibly fine glass artwork for sale if that interests you. A great museum!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are thrilled that you enjoyed your time at the museum. We agree it can be overwhelming to take in our collections in just one visit! For that reason, our admission passes are valid for two consecutive days to give visitors more time to explore. With over 50,000 objects in our permanent collection there is always something new to see. We hope you return soon and explore more of our museum!

My grandson and I had a wonderful time. Being 6 years of age he really liked the various animal displays and the gallery demos. What a wonderful day, and the cafeteria served very good and tasty meals
