Dedicated To The Art, History & Science Of Glass - Corning Museum Of Glass

The Corning Museum displays a comprehensive glass collection with galleries including Eastern, Asian, European, and American glass and glassmaking from antiques through present day creations. The glass galleries creations tell the story of glass creation, from a full-scale model of an Egyptian furnace to the grand factories of Europe and America. The galleries contain objects representing every country and historical period in which glassmaking has been practiced.

This is what caught my eye; I hope you enjoy!
