The kids just love everything Western. And this museum has everything! Western art (spectacular displays!), dress-ups, artifacts, and more! We especially liked seeing the actual Indian buckskin suit and the enormous bison head on a plaque. Wow!

In this part, we got to explore the “sciency” part of the museum with various hands-on displays. And we watched a glass-making demonstration! What a very, very cool museum. We’ll be back!

Some museums you just never want to leave. You haven’t even begun to explore half the place when it’s suddenly closing time. The CMOG is the museum of museums. Just… wow!

You could spend a few days exploring the massive and delightful Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York. Established as an offshoot of the prestigious Corning Glass Factory, this museum is a spectacular adventure of exploration, history, science, and technology. Ours was a phenomenal visit that we will never forget!
