Corning Museum of Glass 2008

On November 15, 2008, a group of honors students took a day trip to the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York. The museum explores every facet of glass: its unique place in art, history, culture, science and technology, craft, and design. The Museum is home to the world’s most comprehensive collection of glass--more than 45,000 glass objects, spanning 3,500 years of glassmaking history. Visitors can also explore the science and technology of glass in a hands-on exhibit area, see live narrated glassmaking demonstrations and try their hand at glassworking in short daily workshops.

Many thanks to Clarissa Plank for the wonderful photographs.
