New Murano Gallery, Murano

Good demonstrations of the art of glass blowing and figureen making. This gallery is high end but gives you a good idea of all that is available. Glass sculpture art is especially well represented.

The pieces of glass art are breathtaking...truly amazing...Tizzy (sp?) in the gift shop was such a delight. She made us feel so welcome and was such a huge help with out purchase in the gift shop. Definitely would recommend visiting this place. Such a unique experience!

This place is full of beautifully done glasswork and the display rooms and glass production demonstrations are worth the visit. The staff are quite knowledgeable as well about how, when and what happens with the glasswork. I do have some words of caution: the guides here are partially tours and partially sales engagements. I don't have much of an issue with that, and don't mind being a patron of skilled artists, but it would have been nice to know upfront that our tour guide is also our salesman. They however do that balance well so it isn't obnoxious. Second, nothing here is very cheap and most things are incredibly expensive (Anyone looking for a $150,000 wall light?). I don't doubt the skill of the maestros that work the glass, but the price of almost anything aside from the glasses or perfume bottles are really only in reach for particularly wealthy folk. However, you don't need to buy to look, and much of the work is really beautiful.

THIS IS the Greatest Glass Blowing place in the World! Bring money if you want specialty designs, they are beautiful, but $$$$.😎

Visit Murano and see glass making at its best. The demonstration was amazing and really showed me the technique of glass making.
