Great 30 minute detour. - Great way to see some glass blowing on Murano. Worth the 10 Euro. We saw two pieces of glass made and it was nice to have a break to sit and enjoy a show.

Interesting demonstration with no sales pitch! - We had a great time watching the glass blower make works of art. What I really loved was there was no sales pitch. There were some items to purchase at reasonable prices, but was not required or assumed that you would purchase anything.

Fun demonstration with great environment and location - The location was easy to get to and the stadium style seating made sure even short kids had a good view. The demonstration was very good with a little fire/smoke coloring to make it eye catching. The venue and staff were nice as well, with the ability to walk around and see other glass work such as large chandeliers and mirrors. The AC was well set and we were all quite comfortable. We had a fun time and definitely recommend.

Interesting setting for... - Interesting setting for the demonstration. Would have been good to have more commentary on the techniques.. it was just a brief pre recording and then watching the man blow two objects…which was fascinating. Some interaction from the demonstrator would have made it more interesting.. tho a simple fun way to spend 30 mins or so

Empty - My experience here was nothing like what was described by the website or by other TripAdvisor reviewers. It was very nonchalant, even from the experience of entering the "cathedral," which looked like any other warehouse studio space. Yes, the chandeliers were beautiful upstairs, but that's all that was there. I was barely greeted by someone when I walked in, and I had to pursue finding out if this was the right place, where to go for the presentation, etc. It was like the 1-2 people there were preoccupied with something else the whole time. The presentation had no interaction with the glass-blower, just a pre-recorded track playing while we watched him create a piece. He did let one of the kids sit in his chair after the presentation, and explained things in Italian, so I was not privy to what was being shared. Afterwards, I was not given any information about a perfume creation or glass bottle to put it in. There was no store to purchase any pieces from. There were bathrooms, which was great, but the whole thing was empty, lifeless, in impersonal. I would not waste my money again on something I thought would be more educational, and I expected to come away with a purchase of something special.
