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).

Plenty of helpful staff. Containment of crowds very efficiently done. 7 & 10 year olds enjoyed the experience.

This was a great museum to visit and felt safe while dealing with Covid. They took our temperature before we entered the museum and had hand sanitizer readily available. We attended the Glass Blowing Demonstration which was now Hand Glass Blowing due to Covid. It was quite fascinating to see. The museum is so beautiful and to see the history of glass was incredible. When we finished seeing the museum we stopped into the gift shop, which was massive in size, to buy something to remember our trip by. They closed at exactly 7 pm so be sure you are considerate of your/their time. We were the lucky ones that had a visit from the security team reminding us that they had closed and made sure we turned around to leave. So no camping there for the night. hahaha

We already bought tickets online so we just had to check in at the ticket counter. The prices were very reasonable. We saw a demonstration on glass making which was interesting and there were screens which you could see the demonstration if you sat farther in the back. The museum was very interesting, it was unbelievable what can be created from glass. The gift shop was huge and included different items made by local artists.
