Ohio Glass Museum visitors are taken through the development and production of industrial glass, pressed, blown and art glass. Our displays include both educational and artistic information on glass. A continuously showing movie, Born of Fire, is an excellent introduction to the museum and history of the area glass companies.

Our Glass Blowing Studio, a favorite of adults and children alike, is open during museum hours. Glass pieces blown and designed in the studio are for sale in the giftshop. They are great for unique gifts for that special person.

In addition to our regular displays, two special exhibits are shown each year. A number of traveling exhibits are also available for viewing at the museum. Follow us on Twitter for times or vist our website for details.




How May We Serve You? Exhibit
Example from current exhibitHow May Be Serve You? September 17, 2011-mid-March 2012
This exhibit includes three special collections of unique handled servers, sparkling crystal stemware and fascinating cruets. Many of these include vintage patterns from glassmakers who no longer are producing these lovely collectibles. In most homes, these serving pieces were only used on special occasions and they will surely delight the eyes of the viewer.

Our visiting glass artist, Robert Coleman, from Mt. Vernon, Ohio will also be exhibiting some of his freehand blown pieces. Since 1970, Mr. Coleman has exhibited and received awards in more than 100 individual, juried, one-person and group shows in the USA and Europe. He has done free-lance designing for the glass industry and lectured on American glass in the USA and Europe.
