Why you should go…
Founded in 1951, this museum holds more than 50,000 glass objects, some over 3,500 years old. In the Hot Glass Show, a glassblower shapes molten glass live while a colleague narrates, and you can sign up to make a piece of your own. The Contemporary Art + Design Wing opened in 2015, and the museum's Studio for glassmaking classes was greatly expanded in 2024. Adult admission covers two consecutive days.
