3 Amazing Glass Art Galleries and Museums in the U.S.
Whether you’re an avid art lover with a private collection, you enjoy strolling through museums from time to time, or maybe you fall somewhere in between, an appreciation of fine art is a mind-expanding, beautiful experience. Glass art particularly exudes a sort of ethereal quality that can draw you in as you observe a piece from all angles and in different lighting. Perhaps that’s why people love visiting some of the many glass art galleries and museums, particularly in the United States. Here are just a few we think you should check out.
Corning Museum of Glass
The Corning Museum of Glass displays one of the world’s largest collections of art and historical glass. 3,500 years of history are displayed in the Glass Collection Galleries, from the glass portrait of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh to contemporary sculpture made in glass.
You can learn about the science and technology behind innovations in glass through hands-on exhibits in their Innovation Center, live glassmaking demonstrations, and even take classes to learn how to create glass art of your own.
