The mission of the Museum of American Glass at WheatonArts is to preserve and continue the tradition of glassblowing in South Jersey. The Museum gathers historical artifacts and contemporary artworks tied into the South Jersey glass tradition and the WheatonArts Glass Studio in its acquisitions. The Collecting & Connecting exhibit displays a variety of techniques, concepts, and materials, including glass gramophone horns, biological materials encased in glass, and artisan glass directly from South Jersey designers. These recent acquisitions help expand the Museum’s current collection and our understanding of glass history and provide insight as to where the future of glass is heading. Open April through December 2022. For current hours, tickets, and visitor guidelines, visit https://www.wheatonarts.org/tickets/.
