Finnish Glass Museum, Glass art museum in Riihimäki, Finland.
The museum exhibits over 40,000 glass objects in a 1,700-square-meter space, presenting both historical pieces and contemporary glass artworks from Finland.
The museum opened in 1961 with 500 objects collected by Hämäläis-Osakunta students and moved to its current location, a former turf factory, in 1980.
The museum preserves Finnish glassmaking knowledge, which earned recognition on UNESCO's intangible cultural heritage list for its manufacturing techniques and traditions.
The museum features wheelchair accessible facilities and organizes regular workshops, demonstrations, and discussions with artists about glassmaking techniques.
The permanent exhibition, designed by Finnish design master Tapio Wirkkala, occupies a building that previously served as Riihimäki Glassworks production facility.
