Corning Museum of Glass

By , About.com Guide

A world-class museum in the midst of New York's scenic Finger Lakes region, the Corning Museum of Glass contains the most comprehensive and celebrated glass collection in the world. But it's so much more than that.

Dynamic and involving, the museum illuminates the glass-making process via displays and live and filmed demonstrations. Then it encourages visitors to try it for themselves. Inspiration comes from galleries filled with historic, exquisite pieces of glass; art glass of astounding beauty and way-out whimsy; and sculptures that simply defy the medium.

A large marketplace, a café, a coffee bar, and a courtyard entice visitors to prolong their stay and fully experience the unique resources of this extraordinary museum.
