Hi my name is Lexi, I am the past Editor for Museums411 Kids Corner. I have started a new column, called Teen Space and my sister Skye will be the new Editor of Kid's Corner. So we will be starting the new columns in October of 2011. I will take you to the Museums that I have visited and give you my opinion on whether these Museums are interesting and fun for kids.

I visited the Corning Museum of Glass with my Mom, Dad, and my 10 year old sister Skye. I would like to thank everyone at the Corning Musem of Glass for being so nice and helpful, they really made my visit something I will always remember. This is a really Fun Museum!, where kids can actually blow glass!

The Museum's contemporary area is the Sculpture Gallery has different works by today's artists.
The glass collection is the worlds largest consisting of glass from 1500 B.C. to the present day.
The Crystal City gallery tells of the history of glassmaking in Corning. The West Bridge Gallery has a constant changing of exhibitions throughout the year.

They change the exhibits several times a year, so you know there will always be something new.

At lunch time we went down stairs, and ate at the diner, the food was really good and it was really fun eating at a museum, because we didn't have to leave the Museum, so we had more time to spend at the Museum.

We shopped at the GlassMarket that has eight different boutiques it had amazing glass souvenirs and art works, the prices were very reasonable, something that your parents will like. There was jewelry, paper weights, vases, keychains shirts, sweatshirts that said the Corning Museum of Glass on it, and there were many other cool things for kids.

They have some pretty Hot shows, like the Hot Glass Show, where you can watch glass-making demonstrations, a glassmaking factory or flameworkers creating glass animals.

Learn how glass containers were made at the Vessels Gallery.

Look into the history and the future of glass optics at the Optics Gallery.

See the history of glass innovations and how they have changed they way we live.

My sister Skye and I really enjoyed our visit, both my parents are glass lovers and they were in heaven. There are so many different activities for kids, like glassblowing, glass etching glass fusion and much more that are really a lot of fun. Skye and I both got to make really beautiful glass ornaments at the Corning Make Your Own Glass Studio.

Skye and I give it a thumbs up for kids.

This place is awesome!!

Kids, I hope you will check out this Museum the next time your parents ask you what you would like to do. Tell them you want to go to the Corning Museum Of Glass I guarantee you will all have an awesome time.
