I was amazed at how many rooms the museum had. It is just a maze of rooms and the displays are beautiful. I learned a lot about glass making and how it started in Sandwich. They also had a glass blower put on a demonstration which was very interesting.

Depends how you look at it. Is it just inanimate glass objects and nothing more or do these objects give us a glimpse into a world we didn’t have the privilege to be alive in and witness? I’m going with the latter. Such lovingly preserved history. These people really care about preserving Sandwich’s past. I also have to add that we were treated more than fairly when returning/exchanging a mail order item from their online shop. Wonderful people.

My sister and I visited the Sandwich Glass Museum while we were vacationing in Cape Cod. Admission to the museum is $12. Just as we arrived, a tour bus was unloading to visit the museum. It was crowded, but we were still able to enjoy the displays. We started with a glass blowing demonstration, which was interesting. Then we watched a movie about the history of glass blowing in Massachusetts. There are at least 12 rooms in the museum, each one showcasing a different kind of glass and explaining some of the history. The gift shop has jewelry and other items made of glass for purchase. We enjoyed our visit to the museum.

We spent rainy day here, which was perfect. It was interesting to see all the blown glass and pressed glass. I learned a lot of history about the area. Best part of all was the glass blowing demonstration which happens every hour on the hour and the film immediately before that. Not worth a trip for toddlers, but kids from third grade on up will enjoy the glass blowing demonstration. We got a pass at a local library so it was free.

It's been a couple decades since our last visit, so not sure what has changed or not . Either way, it was a joy to visit again. The introductory film, and live glass blowing demonstration were both informative and interesting. The museum's displays provided an aesthetically impressive history of the development and craftmanship of this glass making icon. It's a real uplift being in the presence of inspired creation and appreciated beauty.

Wish we had more time here but had to leave after an hour to make a lunch reservation. Fascinating history and so many examples of different glass eras! The orientation movie was helpful for background, but 20 minutes seemed too long. We had to miss the special/more contemporary galleries but did see the glassblower in action.
