Wonderful mix of science and art, with many live demonstrations. The Glass Through the Ages exhibit, in particular, was fascinating.

We had no idea how expansive the museum is. Great history of glass going back 3500 years. Some of the artifacts are amazing, that they could find these relics and display them according to the empire associated with them was fascinating.

Words do not do this place justice. Forget about ALLthe amazing works of art to gaze at. Forget about the inexpensive glassware to purchase...

Fabricating...

What a treasure of beauty hidden in Corning, NY. We all know about Corning kitchen ware, but their glass museum not so much. The most amazing and complete collect of glass dating back centuries. There are live demonstrations, interactive exhibits, plus a gift shop and eatery. Set aside several hours and wear comfy shoes.

Never knew what we were getting into when we decided to visit the Corning Museum but did not disappoint. There is so much to see it starts and learn it is really overwhelming. If you decide to go plan a half day and take time to watch some of the presentations

Beautifully designed, gorgeous exhibits, and very affordable--kids and teens get in for free! Gift shop is amazing, too--not just your typical souvenir source. All in all, well worth as many hours as you can spend here. Just amazing!
