Below are some of my favorites among the snapshots I took at
The Corning Museum of Glass. The beauty and innovation in some of those pieces takes my breath away. What a marvelous medium for artistic expression. If I didn't live on a sailboat, I'd be sorely tempted to take it up as a hobby.
Several of the pictures were taken through plexiglass display cases which limits the quality of the photos.
The museum is apparently very rich. It has been able to acquire the best of the best examples of the works of the world's finest glass artists. Bravo for them. If you have a chance, stop in Corning to see youself.
(p.s. Corning's Stuben Glass Works no longer exists. Starting in 2014, the size of the museum will be doubled.)
