Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The striking Museum of Glass, a conical building designed by renowned Canadian architect Arthur Erickson, has been a Tacoma landmark since its construction in 2002. The museum is a wonderful destination for all who love glass art, and its highlight are the glass blowing demonstrations. These are held in the 145-seat amphitheater and are narrated.

The museum has permanent collections of 20th and 21st-century glass art as well as pieces from the Kids Design Glass program: glassworks made using the drawings of children as inspiration. The museum has a visiting artist residency program and works by these artists are also featured in the museum's collection. A fine gift shop and rotating exhibits round out the excellence of the Museum of Glass.
