A very good collection of glass work done by a single artist so beautifully and also appreciated is the fact that the authorities not only valued but even displayed it so nicely with the lights and backgrounds. Ambience, footfalls and Glass Artwork all are very good and recommended to visit if you are at the city and are an art lover, creator or curretor or just an enthu. Recommend it fully

The Museum of Glass is spectacular. It's starts from the Anthem and the museum as you walk over the freeway seeing the amazing glass art above you and the the freeway and the city view 360 degrees Tacoma 💪then you come to the glass vases that are beautifully blown away by these professional Artists. Then you enter the fountains, stairs, the boats, Yahtz, the calm water, park, restraunts it's stimulating. Go and see them blow away.

I'm an Artist from San Diego, CA and through a series of fortunate events, ended up at The Museum of Glass in Tacoma, WA. Employees were very knowledgeable, experienced and were able to answer all of my questions. The work opened my mind to the possibilities of what can be made out of Glass. The 'workshop' area was AMAZING. A well earned 5 stars 🌟

This was our 1st visit to this museum. It was absolutely stunning to see the work!! There was some serious detail on a lot of the pieces.. I had no idea there were so many clever artists with glass. Lol the staff were all very friendly and helpful. The gift shop was great!! And the bridge outside is stunning and remarkable!! There are no other words for that for the detailed beautiful works at this museum. We will definitely be returning.
