Description

The Ohio Glass Museum was set up to show educational and artistic displays of glass, take the visitor through the development and production of not only industrial glass, but also pressed, blown and art glass. Our continuously showing movie, Born of Fire, is an excellent introduction to the museum and history of the area glass companies.

You will always find something new at the Ohio Glass Museum as we present changing exhibitions of glass items throughout the year. If you missed some of our past exhibits, we will still have examples of what was shown since our opening day on May 20, 2006.

We are conveniently located in Lancaster, Ohio 43130 off of Business Route 33 in Historic Downtown Lancaster. Glass pieces blown and designed in the studio are for sale in the OGM Gift Shop. They are great for unique gifts for that special person.
