Nestled in the very heart of scenic Sandwich Massachusetts, the oldest town on Cape Cod, the Sandwich Glass Museum is a must-see attraction for all visitors to Cape Cod.  

There are so many things to do: watch a live demonstration of glass blowing, offered every hour on the hour; watch an educational video about the glass factory that brought prosperity to the Town of Sandwich in the nineteenth century; stroll through the permanent collection galleries that wind through the our genuinely antique building; learn about the science and chemistry of glass making; admire the beauty and variety of pressed and hand blown glass of yesteryear, marvel at the creative genius of contemporary glass artisans whose work is on display in our contemporary galleries, and last but not least, browse our fabulous museum gift shop for a unique handmade souvenir of your visit. 

The best attractions are the ones that offer the visitor a unique perspective, and the Sandwich Glass Museum is the perfect place to spend several hours immersed in the past and present world of glass manufacturing and studio artistry. 

The Experience of a Lifetime! Once you’ve walked through the galleries and browsed the gift shop, come back for your own “Glass Experience”, in which our talented glass demonstration artists show you how to make your very own handmade glass souvenir. “Make Glass Art and Memories” - enjoy the thrill of handling molten glass, then treasure the product of your creative endeavor as a lasting keepsake of this fascinating and adventurous experience.

Sandwich: The Town that Glass Built. Did you know that there are dozens of contemporary studio glass artists currently creating glass art in New England?

The mission of the Sandwich Glass Museum includes supporting new generations of artists and enthusiasts by carrying the work of contemporary glass artists in our museum gift shop. Every purchase you make helps to support both the museum and the glass artist who created the piece.
