In Tacoma, Washington, there is a modern art museum called The Museum of Glass or (MOG) that showcases glass materials as an art. It was established last 2002. Its an international center for contemporary art with a sustained focus on glass. Through innovative experiences, collections, and exhibitions, the Museum of Glass offers a vibrant learning environment to understand the use of glass. The museum has 11,000 square feet of exhibition space, a hot shop amphitheater, a theater for performing and visual arts, and an education studio.
Ever wonder what that big cone in Tacoma's skyline is? The Museum of Glass Hothouse's exterior can be seen there. Here, glass is truly being blown! Interesting to both young and old.
Making glass in the hot shop is an awesome experience! There is a balcony and theater-style seating so you may view from different perspectives. You can view the live footage being captured by the camera crew on the big projection screen inside the studio.
They showcase incredible displays and collections. Please see below samples.
