Museum of Glass

The Museum of Glass, located in Tacoma, Washington, showcases creations made of glass. Its structure, in a conical shape, is connected to the city via the Bridge of Glass that consists thousands of glass masterpieces. The museum exhibits contemporary glass art creations, a hands-on art studio with the help of the resident Hot Shop Team, where it gives internationally known artists and emerging artists around the world to experience glass-crafting that visitors outside the studio can observe. The museum also offers a wide variety of educational programs about glass art.
