The Corning
Museum of Glass is a not-for-profit museum dedicated to exploring a single
material: glass. Annually welcoming over 300,000 visitors from around the world,
the Museum's campus is home to the world's most comprehensive collection of
glass, the world's foremost library on glass, and one of the top glassworking
schools in the world.
Over 50,000 objects representing more than 3,500 years of history
are included in the Museum's collection; items range from the
portrait of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh to contemporary sculpture.
The Museum's highly regarded curators and librarians actively
acquire materials; and curators, librarians, educators and artists
organize special on-campus and traveling exhibitions; teach; conduct
and publish extensive research; host numerous artist residencies and
public presentations; and showcase daily demonstrations of
contemporary glassworking. The Corning Museum of Glass' authority on
glass art is felt around the world.
The Museum brings glass to life through live, narrated glassworking
demonstrations. Some of these daily demonstrations take place in a
renovated historic glass factory building that contains one of the
world's largest facilities of its kind, with auditorium-style
seating for 500.
To enable visitors to try their own hand at making glass, the Museum
offers Make Your Own Glass sessions for beginners. Our
internationally renowned glassworking school, The Studio, offers
more intensive courses at all levels of glassworking year-round.
