💎✨ Jewellery with a history - from the treasure chest in the attic to the museum: the "Jewellery Glass" study collection preserves the unique legacy of Franz Josef Ginzel from Gablonz an der Neisse. Every bead, every detail is full of history - it's worth a visit to discover all the hidden treasures!

Who am I? 🔥
The Durandl, of course!
My job as a glassworks ghost is to keep the glassmakers on their toes. I don't want them to get bored! You can recognise me by my eye-catching fiery red hair, so watch out, maybe we'll see each other again soon!

There's no getting round carnival, not even for us.
These artistically decorated snuff boxes with carnival motifs bring the magic of carnival into the museum. A piece of festive mood captured on glass! 🏛️🥳
With this in mind: Helau and Alaaf from the Glass Museum! 🎉

Carnival with a difference!
Instead of a pirate, clown or cat - how about a living glass sculpture this year? 🎭💎
Be inspired by our exhibits and bring a little museum magic to the carnival!

Our object of the month brings festive splendour to the pre-Christmas period: a charming carafe with matching beaker, made from fine ruby glass. The pieces originate from Bohemia and were decorated with ornate enamel painting around 1850 - an impressive testimony to historical craftsmanship.
The vibrant red colour of the ruby glass and the filigree decorations are reminiscent of the magic of winter days gone by and invite you to enjoy the special atmosphere of the Advent season.
We wish you a reflective pre-Christmas season, full of festive moments! 🎄✨
