Phil BebbingtonNovember 24, 2018This place is amazing! So many beautiful pieces of art to admire. We also enjoyed viewing the artists make glass sculptures in real time.

Check the schedule for glass-making classes!- HummingBirdGeekSeptember 30, 2015The Museum of Glass has a lot of beautiful pieces, and when my sister and I went there, we made our own glass pieces with the help of some very friendly professionals.
