Corning Museum of Glass - Gift shop

The Corning Museum of Glass in Corning New York is a fascination place to visit. The tickets are good for two days which is a reasonable amount of time to see the entire complex.

The displays in the glass blowing shops and gift shop are fascinating.

Reminds me of fishing at our mountain lake


Fun to see all of the shapes that can be made of glass



Interesting exhibit on the color characteristics of certain glass depending upon the light source





You can spend hours admiring the various items offered for sale in the gift shop. It is almost a museum  in itself.

Julie enjoyed the gift shop
