The Corning Museum of Glasss
Nestled in the Finger Lakes Wine Country of Upstate New York amidst cascading waterfalls and dazzling glacially carved lakes, The Corning Museum of Glass celebrates a material hotter than volcanic lava. Wander through our collections spanning 35 centuries of glass art, history, and science and marvel at the amazing things humans have done with hot sand. Watch our artists shape and sculpt hot glass before your eyes and be inspired to try it yourself. Through a Make Your Own Glass experience, you’ll work with a material hotter than volcanic lava to create a delicate work of art.
