I recently visited the Mauritius Glass Gallery, and it was a truly delightful experience. Having been there a few times during my primary school days, it was nostalgic to return and see how the gallery has evolved over the years. It’s still as magical as I remember!
The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They guided us through the exhibits with great enthusiasm and detailed explanations about the glass-making process. It was fascinating to watch skilled artisans transform molten glass into beautiful works of art right before our eyes. Their passion for their craft really shone through, making the visit even more engaging.
The gallery has an impressive variety of displays, from artistic glass sculptures to practical items, all showcasing incredible craftsmanship. The eco-friendly initiatives they’ve implemented, such as recycling glass, were also inspiring and educational.
For anyone interested in art, history, or sustainability, this place is a must-visit. It’s a fantastic spot to learn about the creative process while appreciating the beauty of handmade glasswork. Whether it’s your first visit or a return trip like mine, there’s always something new and exciting to discover.
Overall, the Mauritius Glass Gallery offers a memorable and enriching experience. I highly recommend it to families, students, or anyone looking for an inspiring outing. Thank you to the wonderful staff for making the visit...

I would have really liked someone to explain the process of glass making or show a video of glass making. This would have helped me appreciate what the men at work where doing with glass in...
Read moreOn arrival at 4pm we were advised , all we could do was walk around the shop. You can only see the glass blowing between 10-11 & 1-2. They no longer provide the service whereby you can have your hand or foot immortalised in glass, apparently this service has not been available since Covid. Perhaps if you make it to to see the glass blowing it will be a more interesting trip,otherwise it is merely a brief walk around looking at the items for sale that they produce from...
