No, Redlands Glass Museum is not a museum made of glass, but it is the only museum west of the Mississippi River limited to displaying glassware made by American glass makers and artists. The Historical Glass Museum exhibits 6,000 examples of glass pieces found in the home from the 1800s to present times.
There are items from most American makers including Adams, Beatty, Aetna, Anchor Hocking, Atterbury, Heisey, Mckee, Morgantown, Bellaire, Blenko, Bryce, Duncan & Miller, Federal, Fenton, Fostoria, Gillender, Hazel Atlas, Imperial, Jeannette, Viking, Tiffany, and Steuben, to name a few. On display are eight rooms of glass vases, bowls, candlesticks, cruets, perfume bottles, paperweights, decanters, lamps, stemware, bells, hats, plates, cake stands and other glass pieces.
Nearly all of the glass in the museum has been donated to be displayed in one of the museum's many custom built illuminated display cases. Special 'on loan' displays throughout the summer months include a collection of Mercury Glass, also known as 'Poor Man's Silver'; and a display of
Depression Glass Stemware, on loan from the National Depression Glass Association.
