We had an absolutely amazing time at the museum today! Everything is stunningly beautiful, but the absolute highlight was the staff. Judy and Jean at the gift shop were incredibly welcoming, and Judy (who had the coolest hair color!) gave us a super insightful tour with an awesome rundown on the history of glass making. Getting to see the record-setting $1 million glass boat sculpture, Passage, was a definite treat and completely breathtaking. This museum is an absolute must-do if you are anywhere near the area. Don't skip it!
Look in advance for tickets. We were lucky enough to get $5/ticket on a Sunday morning from 10am-12pm entrance. For your average art enthusiast 2 hours is plenty of time to stroll the two floors. So many thought provoking and entrancing pieces in the museum, there’s something for everyone! I noticed an audio tour is available if you are interested. There are some art stations scattered throughout the second floor exhibits for kids of all ages as well as a scavenger hunt too! A very pleasant family morning. I highly recommend!
The Imagine Museum turned out to be a hidden gem that we had walked past so many times without realizing what was inside. After visiting it once, we already know we’ll be coming back. It’s a wonderful place for both adults and children, with truly unique and fascinating works of art. Highly recommend discovering this special place!
Fantastic museum with a delightful variety of glass and thoughtful, hopeful, insightful and playful art. There is a history of glass and amazing installations including a whimsical, well done dip into UFOs and aliens. The staff are welcoming. The gift shop has real glass art for sale and the small bakery is a treat. Spend an hour or spend a day. Probably not great for children under five.
On Wednesday, July 8, 2026 my wife and me visited the Museum for the first time. It's a museum in the Art of Glass and it's beautiful. The associates will give you an introduction of the history of how the glass was created. The associates were very helpful and nice too. They also have a store that sells Art Glass. I recommend it.
