Museum news
We have moved our Expert Centre for Glass Technology to Veenhuizen into two restored old buildings.

The aim of creating the International Expert Centre for Glass Technology is by doubling the museum space.
In this way the museum will be able to actively inform visitors about the glass modeling process. Visitors are invited to actively take part in this glass modeling experience.

Special attention is for children, bad sighted and bad hearing visitors.

Furthermore, the museum will host workshops, seminars and international exchange programmes.
Our new conference rooms will be well suited to combine company presentations with educational activities.
The International Expert Centre for Glass Technology will co-operate with other musea and cultural organizations.
