Fascinating, interesting and total glass overload! - This museum is well worth a visit even if you’re not that into glass. The displays were beautiful and the history of glass exhibit was fascinating (but a bit overwhelming!)
There’s something for everyone here, we especially liked the glass blowing demonstration by the master glass blowers. It’s mind blowing what they can do with a «lump» of molten glass!
The cafeteria was ok; the food was good but they haven’t gone for a «cozy» dining experience; it’s more like «finish up eating so you can go look at/ buy more glass!»
We truly enjoyed our time here, but like with any museum you’ll find that you have to speed walk past some of the exhibitions that don’t fascinate you that much in order to get through the whole thing. You can spend hours and hours in here!
The museum shop is massive with some really stunning art pieces, plus all kinds of glass related items and souvenirs.

Wow - Wow. Incredibly beautiful gallery and collections. Staff were very helpful and friendly, especially at the Studio. Did the glass flower class with my husband ( our first time working with glass) and enjoyed it so much we signed up to do it again that afternoon.

Great day trip - The museum is very well done. There is so much information, wonderful displays, I don’t know who dust all of the glass, but it is pristine. We spent over four hours touring the exhibits and did not complete the whole museum. My friend and I had lunch in the coffee and it was delicious. Spent another half hour or so in the gift shop, and came away with some beautiful pieces. Well worth the time.

Worthy every minute! Allow at least 3-4 hours! - A not-so-hidden gem, just a short drive from the Finger Lakes. The museum enthralled us with history, amazing displays of beautiful glass artistry through the millennia, and the science of glass and its many applications. Interactive exhibits with demonstrations were fascinating. Highlight of our visit was attending a Make Your Own Glass workshop, which offers several types of glassworking to experience. Our stay at the museum was easily 4 hours and we couldn’t see everything!

Its a museum of glass... if that's your thing. - The facility is clean and parking is ok. The shop, like typical museums, is way overpriced. The food court offers ok food for a premium price. The exhibits themselves are laid out well. The new addition is horrifically bland (entirely white). The exhibits in this white area are "neat". I get art is in the eye of the beholder but some most of it you can find in any local elementary school. I personally like history and found that section more interesting but underwhelming. If glass is your thing then I guess you'd find this museum more interesting.
My advice is to avoid the Make Your Own Glass section at all costs. It is grossly overpriced and offers an underwhelming experience. We had our kids etch a glass cup (very fragile and cheap cup) and make their own ornament. It was a bit of a zoo and felt like cattle being jammed through a gate. I get it, cram the schedule and make that profit but dont sell this to the consumer as if it's some personalized hands on learning experience. They rush you in and out with some garbage ornament in minutes. It's noisy, busy, chaotic, and a money grab for the museum...nothing more.

If glass is your thing, you should be happy - We were expecting more history on the actual Corning company and its founders. Disappointed. Huge glass collection from across the world. Impressive but not what we were interested in seeing.
We did make a pumpkin while we were there and that was fun.
