I loved this Museum so much I revisited with friends from Seattle! The building is like a Sculpture for the skyline. Tacoma's artists' choreography is truly awesome and inspiring.

I went to both the Museum of Glass and the Chiluly Musuem. I thought the Chiluly Museum was a snoozefest in comparison to the museum of glass. At the MoG, I went into the glassblowing demo, (had multiple furnaces, big audience type seating, working artists, and a narrator answering questions and describing what was happening). It was riveting. When I entered there were already people who had been there, sitting and watching. I joined and watched for I don’t know how long. Even if they weren’t doing a whole lot, you’re just so mesmerized about how they’re able to do anything at all, it’s better than must see-tv. I finally left the room when they appeared to finish the first part of the piece, but I could have stayed. Went around the rest of the museum and saw really beautiful glasswork. I liked that MoG had more diversity in the types of glasswork features, rather than the Chiluly musuem where all the artwork looks more or the less the same. As a bonus, the pizza at the museum cafe was Amazeballs.
It gets my vote!

So many things that are interesting, as well as educational. We hadn't planned to stay as long as we did, but just kept finding areas that we wanted to spend a little extra time.

We really enjoyed a few hours here on a Sunday afternoon. The glass was beautiful. Spent time in the hot shop learning from a resident artist. Things we enjoyed:
Parking on site
Not crowded
Great gift shop
Coffee bar
And wonderful art. Don’t miss the Chihuly Bridge of Glass

Beautiful small museum with stunning glass objects of many different styles, plus an active glass blowing studio with theater seats and live commentary. Highly recommend.

The Hot Shop was set up very well to demonstrate glass working, the video screens showing close-ups of the work being done and PA for explanation were very good (also played many of my favorite songs), questions were requested and answered. Multiple projects were worked on, many techniques were shown. The teamwork and all steps needed to complete the piece was fascinating to see. Plan to spend a few hours there to see a piece be completed.
Lots of informative displays throughout the museum, with information about many previous projects and partnerships. The gallery itself was incredible, such a variety of styles, subjects, and execution. Everything from normal glass objects, to beetles, spiders & flies, sea life, flowers, a marble machine, even clothing from dresses to Roman armor. Some wild 3D pieces made from layers of clear glass with images inside, many examples of the usual glass globes with art inside, and some very large pieces. I could have spent many afternoons examining the art, the quantity and variety of art can be overwhelming to take in all the details in one visit.
While the rest rooms were somewhat remote, the displays of the partnership between children's art and the glass artists 3D glass versions of the children's drawings was involving to read and see.
We did not explore the Chihuly Glass Bridge from the city side to the waterfront (was raining), so even more to see on another visit.
The gift shop was very good, well stocked with books, and a large assortment of glass art for sale, from beads and lawn ornaments to small pressed glass objects.
The restaurant was not open when we visited.
Parking was good, if a bit tight, but only offered 3 or 6 hour times.

STRONGLY recommend Free 3rd Thursday evenings. Also strongly recommend the live glassblowing demonstration -- we watched for nearly 2 hours and it was like a live movie full of drama (would they finish on time? would the orb be big enough? don't drop the art!), beauty, and creativity.
Gallery is nice but not that exciting. Love the kids creative ideas turned into glass artwork!

Interesting place. Really doesn’t compare to the Chihuly Glass Museum in Seattle, but this museum teaches you about glassmaking and there were works by other artists as well. There was a demonstration of glass blowing, but the narrator didn’t really say much and I wish he would have talked us through the process a bit more. Nonetheless, it was a pleasant way to spend the afternoon.

We were a bit disappointed in the museum overall - its really not that large and much of the work is pretty abstract or unremarkable. Luckily, they were having a free admission day so we didn’t waste $20.
The coolest parts were the live glass blowing studio - artists are actively pulling stuff in/out of ovens and shaping it in front of you.
And there is an exhibit of pieces inspired by children’s drawings - essentially they asked kids to draw an imaginary creature, and then a professional glassblower replicated it in glass. The drawings themselves were hilarious, and the executions of them in glass were impressive.
But overall, it felt underwhelming compared to some exhibits I’ve seen elsewhere, like when Chihuly was at the MFA in Boston.

I, too, was hoping for more Chihuly glass pieces. I was also hoping the gift shop would have items at all price ranges. Sadly, I had to leave without a memento. Beautiful exhibit of glass art though.

There is an admission into the museum which will include the hot shop. Sorry, I don't really remember the fee but you should be able to check on line.

Is this a kid-friendly museum? I know, I know it is the GLASS Museum, but I thought I'd ask.

Yes it is a kid friendly musuem. There was a room behind the entrance were a craft project of making paper hats was being worked on with families. The hot shop gallery is perfect for viewing. The displays are spaced far apart so you don't have to worry about bumping into them. However-no running.

Yes, there is a very nice gift shop on the main floor.
Planning a holiday trip to Tacoma around the Chihuly exhibits and installations, looking at the 24th to 27th. Can you plesse advise if there are any days when these are closed? Also is the live workshop open to public during the Chistma-New Year season?

So sorry, please notice this site won't allow web addresses. So next best thing, I took out the periods so you can't, I'm sorry, just copy and paste.
This is a link to the official Museum of Glass website: museumofglass org
The museum is open Wednesday through Saturday 10 to 5 and Sunday 12 to 5 with hot shop demos every day. There are special workshops available:
Fusing Workshops
Saturday, 11 am - 5 pm; Sunday, 1 - 5 pm
Kids Design Glass in the Hot Shop
Sunday, 12 - 5 pm
And Chihuly Walking Tour
Friday, 2 - 3 pm
If, on the main page you click on "Check the Event Calendar" under "This Week At MOG" (left side under the banner) you can see who will be working in the hot shop (click on the artist's name for more info) as well as any other special events happening to help you decide when to go.
If you're able to go on a non rainy day, plan in some time to walk around outside to enjoy the Glass Bridge (lots of Chihuly art there), look at the display in Union Station and the Larry Anderson sculpture outside, enjoy the outside installations on the MOG grounds and the pleasant surroundings, bridges and skyline.
When you get hungry there is a cafe at MOG. However, if you want a good meal drive around Thea Foss Waterway to Johnny's Dock directly across the water from MOG. Or at the corner of Pacific Ave and S.15th St (right in the vicinity of The Marriott Courtyard, the Convention Center and the Tacoma Art Museum) you'll find Pacific Grill pacificgrilltacoma com which offers free parking: inquire inside then park. They have wonderful, delicious food and a generous Happy Hour food and drink menu. Be aware street parking is pay-for at kiosks and strictly enforced.
You'll have a wonderful day!
