Museum of Glass

(CMoG) has been selected as one of

Newsweek’s Best Art

Museums.

In its listing at number 3, the museum is described as so: ‘Art, science and history melt together at the Corning Museum of Glass, a monument to glassmaking with the world’s largest collection of glass. After you’ve marveled at the ancient Egyptian and Roman glassworks, stroll into the future at the Innovation Center, where you’ll learn how technology is advancing the science of glassmaking. If you feel inspired after your tour, sign up for a class to make your own masterpiece.’

That’s not all. The Studio of the Corning Museum of Glass got some pretty significant recognition of its own — a coveted spot on TIME’s list of the World’s Greatest Places 2025, recognizing its dedication to innovation, education, and excellence in the art of glassmaking. These accolades are a testament to the incredible stories the museum shares.

‘As summer approaches, there’s no better time to plan a visit and experience the magic of glass in the heart of the beautiful Finger Lakes region. Whether you’re a long-time fan or a first-time visitor, this recognition affirms that the Corning Museum of Glass is a must-see destination this season,’ a museum spokesman said.

TIME’s list highlights the transformative expansion of The Studio, which now accommodates more daily visitors and welcomes a growing number of talented artists- in-residence. With cutting-edge technological enhancements, The Studio continues to push the boundaries of glassmaking, enabling artists and visitors alike to explore this fascinating medium in innovative ways. A standout feature is our Casting Center —the only largescale casting center of its kind in North America —where the art and science of casting glass come to life on an unparalleled scale. TIME writer Erin Levi describes The Studio as ‘annealing tradition with innovation.’
