Lovely museum with beautiful exhibits and a wonderful glass blowing demonstration. While we were there it was busy enough that the gentleman doing the demonstration was making a glass blown pumpkin every half hour! A few interactive exhibits are sprinkled throughout the museum. They have a scavenger hunt for children and it is a great way to keep younger kids entertained and interested...perfect for our 6 year old. Our 3 year old loved the glass-blowing demonstration but was a little too young to stay interested in the exhibits or scavenger hunt.

Love glass pieces!! A guy demonstrate how glass is blown. Although I have seen this before somewhere else, it was very interesting. Antique glass, they also had a large piece in glass, I think called kinetic art, real cool!! Check out the garden in front!!

I absolutely loved the Sandwich Glass Museum. It is chock full of glassware and by the local glass company in particular. We must have spent close to two hours there but could have spent more. I will need to visit it again to view the items towards the end that I just did not have time for. I also loved the live demonstration. They also sell very beautiful items in the store. I will definitely recommend this for people to go and see

Fun place to visit. Lots and lots of glass artifacts and history. Only wish I could have seen the actual demonstration of a piece being made. There were just too many people. I'm short and it was standing room only. Couldn't see a thing. My husband at least got a good pic for me..he is taller. Gift shop had many nice things in it.

Questions & Answers

Is the museum friendly to kids and is there something to do for kids?

My Grandma brought me here for the first time when I was about 12 and I have gone back 3 or 4 times since. The glass blowers are great with all ages at explaining what they are doing. While there is no exhibit space directed at kids only it is a great way to introduce them to the art of glass. It is also down the street from the Heritage Gardens which is very kid friendly and after you go through the glass museum you can walk the park across the street. There is a little fountain you can drink from, a mill, and watch the swans and ducks in the pond behind it.

Glassblowing is done daily, every hour on the hour. The first of the day is at 10am and the last of the day is at 4:00pm.

I would like to see a picture of early 1800's Sandwich glass paper label. There is evidence a of label that was on my early camphine glass lamp.

How can i list my tiara sandwich amber for sale?

Nancy Wilson | Sep 2, 2020
Tanya Fook-Marshall | Sep 2, 2020

That is a question you will have to research. I do not think that they consign tiara sandwich amber, or any other glass for that matter. You can contact them directly and they can give you an answer or information on how to sell it. They should have someone there that's an expert!
