Museum of Glass, Glass museum in Tacoma, United States
The Museum of Glass in Tacoma is an art museum featuring a distinctive stainless steel cone structure that rises 90 feet (27 m) into the sky. Inside, multiple gallery spaces are arranged to display contemporary glass artworks and installations.
The museum opened in 2002 as part of a major waterfront renewal project in Tacoma. This development plan converted a former industrial site into a cultural hub for the city.
The museum showcases work by glass artists from around the world in changing exhibitions. You can watch artists at work on a daily basis, seeing how they handle materials and develop their pieces in real time.
The museum is open Wednesday through Sunday, so plan your visit for those days. All spaces are wheelchair accessible and easy to navigate, making a visit comfortable for everyone.
A 500-foot pedestrian bridge decorated with glass artworks connects the museum directly to downtown across the waterway. This decorated passage serves as an art experience itself, extending the museum visit beyond its walls.
