Like ALL the best things in life, admission to Bergstrom-Mahler Museum of Glass is FREE. And so are community events like GLASS Arts Festival, and Art After Dark; “Golden Ticket” scholarships to underserved populations; art instruction through programs like SPARK! and outreach to local schools …and MORE!
But FREE isn’t really free.
It takes climate-controlled, well-lit, barrier-free spaces, and materials with which to create. It requires a collection to inspire and maintain, and a professional staff to assist, instruct, and operate. Contributions to YOUR Museum’s Spring Fund helps “free” remain FREE.
Admission free ALWAYS since 1959!
Sixty-seven years and counting of free admission to YOUR Museum! As such, donations are accepted and vital to YOUR Museum’s operation.
