Historical Glass Museum - Museum in Redlands - 1157 Orange St, USA

This place is amazing. The lady that was working there has so much knowledge and the glass displays are fantastic! The also have a gift shop where you can purchase glass. I had to circle around twice and I'm sure I still missed some stuff. The photos are all glass that is for sale, except for one that is part of the house, which itself is amazing.

A wonderful, completely unique museum experience! The glass is lovely, the docents are friendly, and the gift shop is filled to bursting with gorgeous pieces to make your own. We've already been twice! The pictures don't do it justice...the glass needs to be seen in person.

Amazing collection of glass from all different ages across the USA. Rotating connection a couple of times a year. Super Knowledgable volunteers work. Entrance fee is a requested donation. Give generously to keep this great museum open.

First, this museum isn't for everyone. It's not for bored teens, definitely not for children. The clumsy need to avoid. It is a unique home that was converted into a museum dedicated to glass and it's history, as assembled by purchases and donations. To enter, we donated $5 each for my wife and myself, which goes towards upkeep. It's a single story exhibit, and one could spend 5 minutes, or 5 hours looking at everything--depending on their own fascination over the types of glass or even the pieces from different modern periods. It's interesting (at least was to me, and I'm 51) the different items that used to be made from glass that are now plastic or other materials. And my wife, who has more of an eye for this stuff, was recalling seeing some of the pieces at various relatives' homes as she was growing up. There was a gentleman who served as the "tour guide" and offered great information on the different rooms and pieces on display. To be honest, I expected to be bored during this visit (wife likes to choose a variety of unique destinations during our mini-vacations), but it wasn't bad at all.

I’ve driven by the Glass Museum forever and went to an event with the Redlands Area Historical Society. Fun place and so much glass to view. They also have a gift shop with very reasonable prices and amazing selection.

The docents are very knowledgeable,it is a nice little museum. There is a giftshop too

I have been a member for several years. They have a wonderful collection, a great gift shop, and very nice volunteers.

If I could give a million stars I would, for this place is in my wheelhouse. This museum is a beautiful restored Victorian home filled with beautiful glass with a kind volunteer staff. They even lent us a black light so we could make the uranium glass glow. The gift shop is a must for any glass collector, they often sell unique and special glass pieces at very fair prices. I cannot wait to visit again very soon.
