When Amory Houghton Sr. moved the Corning Glass Works to Corning, New York, in 1868, he planted the seed of what would become one of the world’s leading glass innovators. For over 150 years, Corning has shaped the way glass touches our lives — from the art in our homes to the technology in our hands.
The Museum of Glass Community was created to carry this legacy forward. Not just as a museum, but as a living space where glassmaking becomes more than an art form — it becomes a shared passion. A place where visitors, artists, and collectors can come together to learn, create, and celebrate the beauty and innovation of glass.
Today, the Museum of Glass Community stands as a hub for creativity and connection. At its heart, it holds the same belief that inspired Corning generations ago: glass is more than material — it’s a medium for imagination, discovery, and belonging.
