It's one of Tagaytay's little known gems. Beautiful glass sculptures, paintings. It has several floors filled with great art pieces. Worth the entrance fee. Plus it has a great view of the lake. Update 2021: We went there on Feb.13. We reserved our tour online and it's advisable to do that since they have strict rules on how many people go inside the museum. We reserved our 2pm slot and then paid it via PayMaya. Once we got there, they have staff to help you get a parking slot. Masks and face shields are required. Once you go in, just tell them your name and they'll process it and give you your tickets. They ask you to wear your masks at all time. You can put upyour face shield if your want to look at the museum pieces but you can't remove them. You can take photos but they will ask you not to turn on the flash. There are four floors available to roam around. It's pretty big so you can probably spend more than an hour going through it. Or not. The place isn't crowded at all. Which is good if you ask me. The rooftop or roof deck was off limits when got there. Ask them first if it's available when you do the tour. Still one of the best places to go to Tagaytay for...

SEPT 2022 - The main artist is an architect who create glass into wonderful sculptures. I was thankful that the kids love the idea to visit the place to give them a glimpse of what other artists are able to achieve with their imagination.

Previously you have to make a reservation but now, you can just walk-in. A tour guide will explain the history and will be kind to answer any questions. It's a 4 level building and don't worry the elevator is working.

I've added photos of the pieces I like, and it makes you think how they manage to build it using simple tools... I wish they also included in display the power tools used and short video clip on how it is done. Glass combined with proper lighting is really nice specially if it has a differnt color than the usual glass material.

Some items on display in the gallery at lower levels are also for sale... just look for a folder where you see the prices. Any question you may ask the tour guide.

I wish I can own one glass center piece for our house, the violet color seems to the one my wife would definitely love. I am sure, I will have one in...
