Really fantastic museum and HUGE!! It's quite an encyclopedic collection of a fascinating material. Everything from art to industry to science and more. We spent about two hours here and still didn't see it all. We did manage to catch one of the glass blowing demos though which was super cool to see. The gift shop was just as impressive as the museum itself, large and varied. Anyway, it's def worth a visit if you're nearby.
This is a great museum! We didn't have kids with us, and it may not be the best for active kids. There is a lot of cool science information. Corning scientists have changed the world! There are a few demonstrations which are well done. There are a lot of glass pieces from throughout history (and I mean a lot!). They also have a nice cafe and gift shop.
Fascinating collection of everything you can possibly do with glass. We went on a rainy day during vacation and we're so glad we did! The museum of glass art is especially cool. Hurts the mind to try and figure out how some of those exquisite works were made. The Corning tops my list of most memorable museums.
The building is gorgeous! It was definitely a good learning experience about glass. The art work on display is mesmerizing and awesome. The food is surprisingly really good at the cafe! Definitely recommend to come and spend a few hours learning about glass and seeing some amazing art work
Wonderful museum of both Corning and glass history. I do find it sad that as I walked through the place with a mask on due to the pandemic, to find so much of the stuff in their gift shop was made in China! Kind of ruined the experience for me. Museum built to celebrate an American company. Fortunately they also had many items from local glass artists which are wonderful. Forgot to mention don’t miss the glass blowing and forming demonstrations! They are outstanding! Really cool. What I enjoyed the most was the technology history and the history of fiber optics. That was very educational.
