This place is amazing! So many beautiful pieces of art to admire. We also enjoyed viewing the artists make glass sculptures in real time.
Go through the shop to watch glass-making in real-time. Check the schedule for glass-making classes !
The Museum of Glass has a lot of beautiful pieces , and when my sister and I went there, we made our own glass pieces with the help of some very friendly professionals.
This place is so boring! The beginning of gallery is not interesting at all. Glass in glass? Vases? Hashtags near the glass? OMG!????The potato w/ fork? Sockness monster? Awesome? Ppl are you serious?
Disappointed!! I drove all the way to Tacoma thinking that this museum was better than Chihuly at Seattle downtown. One room was closed so the museum was just blowing room and another tiny exhibition
