World of Glass, Glass museum in St Helens, England.
The World of Glass Museum displays extensive collections of glass artifacts, industrial equipment, and contemporary glass art through multiple exhibition galleries and demonstration areas.
Established in 2000, the museum preserves St Helens' industrial legacy as a major glass manufacturing center dating back to the 1826 foundation of Pilkington Glass.
Regular glass-blowing demonstrations by skilled artisans showcase traditional techniques while teaching visitors about this centuries-old craft through hands-on workshops and exhibitions.
The museum opens Monday through Saturday from 10:00 to 17:00, featuring a café, gift shop, and educational facilities for school groups and private events.
Visitors can watch live glass-blowing demonstrations in the museum's specialized workshop, where master craftsmen create intricate pieces using traditional furnaces and tools.
