Corning NY is home to both Corning, Inc, a major manufacturer of glass, and the Museum of Glass, an institution that pays tribute to all things glass. We spent a better part of the day visiting the museum and Ooma’s assessment – echoed by me – was “one of the best museums ever.” High praise and well-deserved.
We divided our time pretty equally between the displays of glass art and the demonstrations. The demos – glass blowing and glass breaking, were interesting, but the real star of the show were the thousands of pieces of glass art.
Beautiful stuff.
