I have been here in Venice for a few years now and I have visited and seen most of the attractions and places that people normally like to see.
This last weekend though I decided to try out the Glass Museum as friends had told me about it and alas, I have to admit that I actually
enjoyed it. Didn't expect to and I have to admit that my wife was the force behind us seeing this attraction.
The Glass Museum is said to be one of the top in Europe and with its location on the scenic Murano Island, you can use the Museum waterbus (Museo Murano waterbus) to get across to the island (this is a fun part of visiting the glass museum also).
I thought looking at glass would be slightly boring but when you see live demonstrations of glass blowing and design it is quite fascinating. The official Venice Glass museum site online has details of entrance fees and times. The guided tour is worth doing and you can also if you are really into glass, sign up for various workshops.
