Tori Schwartz
★★★★★4 months agoReally cool museum experience! I would recommend on a rainy day. Overall the glass is more functional than artistic, but you get to watch people blow glass, and you can even try it yourself for 20CHF! Very clear signs for getting there from the train. Check out the store across the street, they have some items on sale!

★★★★★2 months agoFascinating. I didnt know switzerland has this much of a glas related history. Next to the real workers working in a real factory on real goods, there is plenty to see, such as the museum, the shops and shows. Fun Fact, since it was very hot the day we visited, we made use of their small but nice swimming access to the lake.
