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 will be open to visitors for viewing at your leisure every weekday from 10am–4:30pm during the Heritage Open Days festival.
Tours
On Tuesday 12 and Thursday 14 September the curator is also offering talks on selected museum items that tell both the stories of the people that donated them and the objects themselves. You will also learn the history of Prof Turner who began life as a sickly child in a working-class family in the ‘Black Country’ but who became an internationally renowned expert in Glass in all its forms, in spite of his links to the Steel Industry.
Tours start every hour at half past the hour from 10:30am to 3:30pm on both days, and last 45 minutes. No booking required.
