Corning Museum of Glass, Glass museum in Corning, New York State, United States
The Corning Museum of Glass showcases more than 50,000 glass objects spanning 3,500 years across multiple exhibition spaces and demonstration areas.
Founded in 1951 by Corning Glass Works, the museum survived a devastating flood in 1972 that damaged many artifacts and half of its library collection.
Daily glassmaking demonstrations allow visitors to observe skilled artisans creating intricate pieces while explaining traditional and modern techniques.
The museum offers workshops where participants can create their own glass pieces, with options ranging from basic ornaments to advanced glassblowing sessions.
The research library contains over 500,000 documents and books related to glass manufacturing, making it the largest glass-focused collection worldwide.
