Tacoma, Washington
Waterfront glass-art museum with a live glassblowing Hot Shop
The Museum of Glass sits on the Thea Foss Waterway under a 90-foot stainless-steel cone, a downtown landmark dedicated to contemporary glass art. Its working Hot Shop runs live glassblowing demonstrations. Note: the main galleries are closed for a renovation through early fall 2026, though the Hot Shop, store, and café stay open.
