    We had an extensive guided tour which was fascinating and informative. The guide's passion and knowledge made our visit most enjoyable. The resident cat was a real treat. Highly recommend a visit!

    Amazing glasswork collection and an amazing guide to show us around and provide a ton of useful and surprising information. Absolutely worth your time to visit. Don’t miss the hand-blown glass spiders. I’ve never seen such delicate blown glass.

    The New Bedford Museum of Glass is a wonderful and unique place to visit! My grandfather and I loved seeing the antiques and the art pieces. They have a wonderful display of ancient glass, 19th century glass, works by the top glass makers in the country, and glass animals. It is like a curio cabinet of unusual treasures and many of the pieces have interesting stories. If you happen catch the director when you stop by he will tell you all about them himself! Absolutely loved our visit!! We will be back!!!
