The Corning Museum of Glass

was so fantastic that we went twice. They have a phenomenally wide-reaching collection of glass items and technologies spanning 35 centuries. From mascara tubes made five hundred years before the birth of christ to SUV-sized fresnel lenses for lighthouses to the thinnest, strongest glass for medical and communication applications. They do live glass-working demos all day long! Pictured below is a 1500yo snail-shaped drinking horn.
