View a century of glass art at Turner Museum of Glass.
You will see a glass wedding dress, find wine glasses engraved with secret but sensitive political statements, view a mosaic highlighting the history of glass making and laugh at a musical joke.
The museum is open to visitors for viewing at your leisure every weekday 10am–4pm.
Tours
For Heritage Open Days, the curator is offering guided tours, focusing on selected items that tell both the stories of the people that donated them and the objects themselves. You will learn the history of Prof Turner whose collection forms the heart of the museum. He began life as a sickly child in a working-class family in the Black Country but became an internationally renowned expert in glass in all its forms, in spite of his early links to the steel industry.
Tours start: 10.30am / 12pm / 1:30pm / 3pm
