Never been to a glass museum before, what a surprise! The only thing I knew before visiting was from some basic television programs that detailed how they blow glass, but this museum was mostly about fused glass. It’s incredible what they are able to do and how intricate the designs, details, and colors are! Everything inside the paperweights is glass! That’s the only way they could possibly do it since anything organic would just burn up in the heat! They have an interesting historical section too! The ladies at the front desk were very helpful and were more than happy to answer any questions. Admission is free, but obviously they accept donations to keep the museum going strong. Enjoy!

There is no entrance fee for this display, but there are a few opportunities to support the museum with strategically located boxes which are easy to find. You may feel inclined to do so after walking through the masterfully crafted exhibits. This quarter(?) they have on display works from a local high school, and I was very pleasantly surprised by the level of detail and quality. These are in combination with what are likely more traditional pieces, all beautiful, interesting, and sometimes even amusing. The museum itself is very clean, well-lit and easy to navigate. The staff are welcoming and helpful, and appear to have an intimate grasp of the museum and its process.

This place has a lot of very cool pieces. The pictures don't do most of these justice. We were so engrossed in the artwork that we completely lost track of time. It's free to get in and look around. They do accept donations. There is also a gift shop with some unique glasswork, much of it very reasonably priced. The staff here are great too! (Forgot to put that in my original review). Very friendly and knowledgeable! Well worth the trip! There are tons of Pokestops and gyms all around this area for the Go players.

I'm not usually very in to art museums but this museum was incredible! The art was so interesting and beautiful. You could go back again and again and always notice something new every time! The staff were wonderful and took time to show us the galleries and give more details on the process of making glass art. The gift shop was also supper fun and filled with many unique pieces! I definitely recommend visiting!

Fantastic museum across from beautiful park. I was surprised at the size of the museum and the variety of contemporary art pieces. My husband, who threatened to stay for only 30 seconds, ended up staying for an hour, engrossed in the complexity and artistry of making glass paperweights and other art pieces. Free admission. Highly recommend!

Great place. Positive energy everywhere. You get to learn about how they make those pieces. They have a very special collection. You can also grab some unique gifts from the gift shop.
