Corning Glass Museum, NY

After all the museums we’ve visited this month, I was surprised to see the kids jump out of the car hooting and hollering with excitement on the way into the Corning Glass Museum.  We stopped here a few years ago and really enjoyed the demonstrations and glass art.

In 1868 the Flint Glassworks in Brooklyn moved to Corning in an effort to reduce costs.  Soon several crystal cutting factories moved in.

The museums had displays showing how the crystal was cut and polished into beautiful pieces.

This Liberty Bell is a beautiful example of the beautiful pieces produced by Corning artisans.

The kids always enjoy the demonstrations.  Here we’re learning about different types of safety glass.

Researchers from Corning developed things like fiber optic threads that replace this bundle of copper to transmit phone and data.

We enjoyed lens and telescope displays

Glass blowing is impressive when a master can produce a beautiful piece before your eyes out of a lump of glass pulled out of the oven.

After watching the demonstrations and learning about technology developed in Corning, we browsed the museum galleries.
