Europäisches Museum für modernes Glas

The European Museum for Modern Glass sits on the grounds of Schloss Rosenau and displays over 200 international artworks made from glass. The collection includes pieces in different styles and techniques that show how artists work with this material.

The collection started in the 1960s as a branch of the Coburg Art Collections to display growing contemporary glass art alongside older pieces. It grew into a major venue for international glass art and shaped the field through regular exhibitions.

The museum displays works by artists from many countries who treat glass as a serious art material. Many pieces come from international competitions held regularly here that help shape contemporary glass art.

The museum is open year-round, though hours change between summer and winter seasons. Good accessibility and parking on-site make visiting straightforward.

In the lamp working studio, visitors can watch artists at work and make their own glass beads. This hands-on experience helps you understand the skill behind the pieces on display.
