The National Museum of Cambridge Glass, Cambridge

As a local, I SHOULD'VE visited this place earlier than 39 years old, but I didn't realize what a hidden gem we had. The family & I were on a "staycation" and ended up going to see the museum as an inexpensive activity to do together to learn a bit about local history. We had a very knowledgeable guide who showed us a short movie 1st, then helped the kids dress up like Cambridge Glass workers (which they thought was cool), and then answered all of our questions during the tour around the displays. If you like museums, local history, or specifically Cambridge Glass, then check them out!

Small entrance fee. You are shown a short movie about the company history and the glass process. Then you get a guided tour with a great explanation of all the different glass on display. There is a small case where you can purchase some of the glass. Great, interesting experience 👍

This is a great place to visit to learn the history of Cambridge Glass. The women that give the tours are very knowledgeable and very friendly. There is a short video you watch first, after that you are taken through case by case where you will see each pattern, color, style the company created. There are also cases full of photos from movies and TV shows where a piece of Cambridge Glass was used. That was really fun to see. If you are interested in glassware you MUST stop and take a tour thru the museum! *UPDATE* I added a couple pics of my newest Cambridge Glass 😀

Great museum. Over 80 cases of glass, all with explanations of when they were made. Movie explains the history. The lady working there was very sweet and knowledgeable. Well worth the $5 admission. We spent a little over an hour there.

I had an excellent tour of the museum with a very knowledgeable curator. There is a small fee for entrance followed by a video that details some of the history of the business and the art of glass making. The guided tour gives all of the information regarding the displays of the various styles and types of glass. The examples of the glass are outstanding and the tour guide is very informative.
