Excellent displays of glass artefacts thru history to present day with the chance to see items available nowhere else in the world. An inexpensive outing with the chance to see glass workers in action. Loved it.SheilaVisited Aug 2025We took our Year 3 classes of 7 and 8 year olds to the musuem as our summer school trip and they absolutely loved it.The musuem is an absolute delight and absolutely perfect for a school visit. It was just the right size and pitched perfectly for our age range (though would be equally suitable for upper KS2 and KS3 children).The staff at the museum could not have been more helpful. Our visit was extremely well organised with the itinerary and resources all prepared in advance. The children loved the workshop activity and were very proud of the glass tiles that resulted. The demonstration by the skilled glassworkers and the commentary explaining what they were doing was fascinating. The children loved the exhibits and were inspired to design their own once back at school.A real hidden gem of the Black Country! We will definitely be back!SimonVisited Jul 2025We really enjoyed our visit. We saw the glass artists at work in the hot shop making a beautiful vase. There was also an excellent demonstration of how cameo glass is made by an expert glass engraver. There were clear explanations of the exhibit’s showing the history of glass.StephenVisited Feb 2023Kids in MuseumsView All EventsWe are proud to be part of Kids in Museums, offering a dynamic and engaging experience for all ages.Enjoy live glassmaking demonstrations, digital and hands-on interactives in our galleries, a dedicated children's space featuring games, a library, and activity sheets and trails.
