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).

The Museum of glass is forever changing. It is a beautiful facility with easy parking. You will do a lot of walking inside. The displays of glass art are quite beautiful. My only issue with the museum is that they do not have enough hands on displays. Sure they have the opportunity for making glass for an extra charge but they could have many hands on displays for free. It gets pretty boring just walking from one piece of glass to another. I guess my favorite part was watching an example if glass blowing in one of the auditoriums. I wish they had more of these that were done every half hour or so instead of only three times during your visit.

Thank you for visiting the largest museum of glass in the world that is dedicated to telling the story of glass. We are sorry to hear that you wanted a more hands-on experience. Our Innovations Center has several hands-on displays so it sounds like you may have missed that. It is great to hear that you found the demonstrations interesting. Glassblowing demonstrations happen about once an hour at the Museum, so guests can watch our Hot Glass team quickly create works of art. Sometime we also host guest artists for longer demonstrations of their skills. These demos can also give you a better sense of the effort that went into creating some of the works in our collection. We hope to see you again now that you know what to expect!

This was our third visit. We spent about 5 hours touring the museum. The exhibits have been different each time. Well worth it!.
