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).

Even in the Time of COVID, the glass museum felt like a safe place to visit. The museum is beautiful and the collection of contemporary art as well as history is a joy to see. Thinking about human history is a good thing to do during this time. I would like to visit again because there is so much to see!

We did glass sanding and glass making class with kids, they made clocks and night lights, it was very well organized, especially given the constraints of COVID-19 situation. We loved overall experience, went back nxt day (admission tickets r good for 2 days) 'cause we did not get too see some galleries, were too tired. We all really enjoyed it, learned a lot about fiber optics and telescope mirrors, lenses in the "innovations"part, short videos were - well, short enough to keep kids interested and informative enough for adults to watch. My only regret was there were no tours due to COVID-19, I personally enjoy and remember museums better if I took a tour and someone knowledgeable explans me what exactly i m looking at, especially in the history of glass section, but oh well.

Spectacular display of historical and contemporary glass, very interesting glass-blowing demonstrations. Very helpful staff as well: after I returned home from my visit, I submitted a question about 19th-century French crystal and received two useful and detailed replies - at intervals because of the COVID pandemic but extremely helpful.
