Corning Glass Museum

Our first venture out of Oswego was to the Corning Glass Museum. We weren't allowed to take photos at the Corning Glass Museum which is sad because they had some of the most amazing pieces of glass artwork that I've ever seen. The museum is huge and we didn't even get to see half of their exhibit. Truly amazing was the special exhibit, the Heineman Collection, which was a private collection of a Chicago couple. I think we got up to the Early European glass in our tour of the History of Glass before we had to break for lunch and then go to the boy's class.
The museum offers several classes including glass blowing. The boys took a sandblasting class because it allowed them to take their item home that same day.
