To tour the museum leisurely, about an hour. The Hot Shop, included in your admission to the museum, gives you, the visitor, an opportunity to watch artists create masterpieces from molten glass. The amount of time spent here, is up to you. The artists and their assistants interact with the audience on what they are doing and why. From a kid stand point, the Hot Shop is housed inside the architecturally unique 90-foot stainless steel cone—which is cool in itself!
Is this a kid-friendly museum? I know, I know it is the GLASS Museum, but I thought I'd ask.
A:
Glass, children do not always mix. A younger child might not understand the artistry involved. I would base it on how careful the child is and how fascinated by creative works.
