Opened in 1933, It has one of the largest collections of glass art in the United States. It is not only recognized for number of objects, +30,000, but also the diversity of age of the artifacts and art types. They have paintings, sculptures and artifacts from a range of 5,000 years. They also have a glass studio on site with free glass blowing demonstrations. Best of all it has free parking and admission all year long!
I had an absolute blast and was in awe of how many types and glass making techniques I saw. Glass art is so special to me because it was a shared interest between me, my mother and grandmother. I love its simplicity in composition (sand, minerals and rock) compared to some of the most extravagant glass creations I have seen.
Here is a link to checkout the site for yourself! And photos below of some of my favorite pieces from the museum too!
