The Nationaal Glasmuseum is housed in two villas that are connected with each other by covered footbridges. The collection of the museum consists of glass objects, both ornamental and normal glass. In addition to the permanent exhibition the museum also organises temporary exhibitions. In the ‘glasblazerij’ the visitor learns how glass objects are made. That building is within walking distance and is part of the Nationaal Glasmuseum.

    Leuk museum voor even mee te pakken. Is niet groot en je bent er vrij snel uitgekeken. Pand mag wel een opknapbeurt gebruiken. Ik vind de entreeprijs vrij duur voor hetgeen het museum te bieden heeft.
