Welcome to the Museum of Glass, the premier contemporary art museum dedicated to glass and glassmaking on the West Coast. Located in Tacoma, Washington, our museum boasts the largest and most active glass studio in the region. For over 20 years, we have been igniting creativity, fueling discovery, and enriching lives through the medium of glass.

At the Museum of Glass, we offer a wide range of products and services to engage and inspire our visitors. Our iconic Hot Shop provides rare public access to glassmaking demonstrations, featuring our world-renowned Hot Shop Team. We also host Visiting Artist Residencies, exhibitions, and educational programs, including Kids Design Glass, Science of Art, and Junior Curator Academy.

We take pride in our role as a catalyst for change in Tacoma, having played a part in the restoration of the Thea Foss Waterway. As a maker's space, we provide a transformative experience where you can witness live glassmaking, explore glass art from emerging artists and masters, and even try your hand at creating your own piece. Join us at the Museum of Glass and embark on a journey of artistic discovery and inspiration
