The galleries at Museum of Glass are dedicated to both temporary exhibitions, as well as works from our Permanent Collections that feature twentieth and twenty-first-century glass. Our exhibitions span a wide range of topics and convey the meanings and motivations of diverse artists with the help of our Curatorial Team.

Furthermore, exhibitions at Museum of Glass aim to highlight the diversity inherent to the material of glass and glassmaking techniques, and engage audiences who are unfamiliar with the art form.
