I admittedly love crystal and glass, but that being said, this museum is really cool. There has to be approximately 10,000 pieces in this old hotel. You are sent from the 5th floor through a maze of rooms filled with exquisite pieces of handmade detail. Beautiful colors, designs, and paintings on the vessels. I loved the 19th century pieces, but there are 18th century through modern pieces. You get to see the room and artifacts from when Empresses Sissi stayed there. I only had an hour and I had to rush through there is so much to see.

This is one of the most interesting and extensive collections of European glass in the world. I wouldn’t have said I had a deep interest before seeing this collection, but the story behind it, the sheer scale and beauty of the pieces and even the building was an eye opener. It was only €7 entry and we spent nearly 2 hours here. Many pieces are exposition award winning pieces or come from the Royal families of Europe. Fantastic. Highly recommended if you have some spare time in Passau or even as a destination itself.

Very much worth a visit. The number of pieces displayed is enormous. Mainly glass creations from the Bohemian and Slesian regions from the 19th century (a lot of Biedermeier), but also Art Nouveau and other styles. Entrance is in the hotel Wilder Mann and you buy the ticket at the reception. Up with the elevator to the T,the floor. From there the exhibit leads back down via stairs. There are exhibits on all floors. It is huge. Beautifully displayed.

We visited the Glasmuseum in Passau not knowing what to expect. But it's really an interesting stop. The museum is arranged starting with the oldest pieces on the top floor. They were decorated and functional bottles. As you move through the pieces are from succeeding periods and larger and more ornate. Room after room until you can't absorb any more.

Visited on my last day in Passau. Very surprised to see the most impressive collection of glasses anywhere. Do not let the old building fool you. This museum will keep you entertained for at least good two hours or more. A docent or some English signs would enhance the experience of the visit.

Eine riesige Sammlung über mehrere Stockwerke. War fast ein wenig zuviel. Wir fühlten uns fast ein wenig erschlagen von den vielen ähnlichen Bierkrügen, Vasen usw. Da sich das Glasmuseum in ein wunderbares historisches Teil vom Hotel Wilder Mann befindet, haben wir trotzdem gute 2 Stunden im Museum verbracht. Vor allem das ehemalige Übernachtungszimmer von Sissi war ein unerwartetes Highlight. Vielleicht wäre es besser nur die schönsten, besonderen Glas Gegenstände zu präsentieren und etwas mehr Hintergrundinfo über die Herkunft und Anfertigung dieser Unikate zu geben. Zu vielen trockenen Jahrgangszahlen schrecken eher ab. Auf jeden Fall ein Besuch wert, vor allem wegen das Umfeld der Sammlung.
