The best part was the Make Your Own Glass Experience... Just loved it!! Oh and when you walk around the museum.. Please read what Optical Fiber is not just assume it is on your Christmas trees for decorations! The use is amazing at Corning;)

We went with older kids and we all had a great time. There is no charge for kids and teens, which is terrific, and the exhibits were entertaining and educational. We did have time for lunch in the very nice cafeteria, but didn't have time for the shows, so we need to see them when we go back.

Very interesting museum. A LOT of glass (as should perhaps be obvious)... you can spend a lot of time here. We liked the contemporary glass exhibit the best, but the other rooms with the main glass collection were interesting as well.

The displays go from ancient artifacts all the way to recently commissioned modern works. There are demonstrations at several locations. We saw several... More

The Corning Museum of Glass was a highlight! The well designed building gives you the opportunity to learn lots of different things about glass. There are demonstrations of hot glass, glass breaking, optic fibre and bead making. There is also a fascinating museum with examples of glass through history with some items from 2000 BC to the current day and... More
