Museum of Glass, Tacoma

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.

Price is around $18 per person. They have a showroom/kernel where you can physically see glass being blown and made into an object. There are so many beautiful creations to see that others have made. Honestly a beautiful museum. Kids are able to make/design glass and it is displayed. Love the imagination of what others can create. Definitely recommend.

The bridge to the museum is decorated with colorful glass artwork. The museum host glassblowing events, one of which we got the chance to watch. It was cool to see how glass is made. That said, their glass exhibitions are very interesting too, and worth taking a look around. There awaits a presentation of so many different glass artwork variations and styles. The experience is very inspiring and educational.

Amazing collection!! The museum takes about 1.5 hours to experience. They make kids draw ideas and then they build one of it out of glass once every month! So cool! The glass making process is incredible, lot of fun to watch

Aside from being difficult to find, and having to deal with a very cold, snooty ticket sales person, we loved our time at the museum. The art was fantasticly creative and the glass blowing demo was informative and interesting. We especially loved the crew there and in the gift shop, such friendly folks. I can't wait to bring pals along, they'll luck out and not have to go on a scavenger hunt to find it. Pro tip, the museum faces the water. Parking is near the Museum of Art or on the street in front of the cool cone shaped top of the building. You can also walk across the bridge that goes over the highway, near the City Hall. Along that route, glass art is displayed (see photos). You'll take a ramp or stairs down and when you see the reflection pond, go right. There's not any directional signage. The restaurant attached to the museum has a much more limited menu than online, but it is delicious. Dogs are allowed on their patio.
