Glass

One of the best glass collections in the world can be found at Broadfield House Glass Museum in the historic Stourbridge Glass Quarter. The displays range from the 17th century up to the present day, revealing the diversity of glass and the creativity of glassmakers through the ages. 

An interesting programme of events and temporary exhibitions complement the glass displays and celebrate the magical art of glassmaking.  There is also a glassmaking studio on site where visitors can watch and wonder at the glassblowers' skills.
