The Corning Museum of Glass
The essence of an art is beyond imagination when we handle our very own liquid sand ‘Glass' in our daily lives, well, 'The Corning Museum of Glass' features an exquisite collection of the glass world.
The whole idea is to present a unique perspective of an unknown world of beauty which moves from its historic roots to the present stature, everything in this museum is so ideally placed for the art lovers and those who are not will derive to be one.
Located in Corning this museum is an almost 3hrs drive from Niagara Falls and near to 5hrs drive from Newyork city, so either way its a perfect stop for some mind-blowing discovery.
The place is distributed in sections which comprise of the historical collection to the modern use of glass.
My personal side of the gallery is the contemporary glass wing which features unique pieces of art made by creative artists from all over the world. Every piece makes you think how did they create it! I have many favorites the one I want to mention here is called the 'Continuous Mile' by Liza Lou's which is one mile of continuous cotton rope woven by beads it's hard to acknowledge such detail art of glass done entirely by human hands.
Another piece of art called 'Sheer Volume' takes mirror gazing to a different level as the artist want you to figure out the possibilities of a structure in which layers of mirrors are guarded by layers of sectioned rock cast with clay, guess the structure as you pan from one angle to another.
To involve visitors and to give them hands-on experience they have options like make your own glass project which comes with a price or you can watch them giving a demo of making stuff from glasses like a small mermaid or a huge vase.
For the history lovers, they have dedicated section which holds the glass pride of 35 centuries, which started from 3,500 years ago and still going on with ancientness. Every part of the world has given its own contribution to the glass magic which is well preserved in this museum.
