The Museum of Glass looks really neat from the exterior -- the architecture is definitely eye-catching and unique. The museum itself is really small in size, but they make good use of the space. I was disappointed that there wasn't more to it, but I have to admit that the BEST part of the museum was their auditorium where they featured artists demonstrating their craft. We saw a renown glass-blowing artist create something right before our eyes!
