There are only three museums in the world that exclusively showcase glass art, and the Tacoma Glass Museum is one of them. Set on the scenic waterfront of Tacoma, Washington, the Museum of Glass is only a short drive south from Seattle. This is the only museum devoted to glass in the entire US, so this is a world-class destination. The Museum of Glass just opened in 2002, and it was designed by a group of architects led by the well-known Arthur Erickson. It has a beautiful bridge that links the Tacoma Glass Museum to the University of Washington Tacoma.
