About The Murano Glass Museum

For Murano Glass to be authentic Murano Glass it needs to be made on Murano Island in Venice. If it isn’t made there, it isn’t authentic Murano Glass. Murano Glass is colourful and often contains gold or silver specks. The expert glass makers use various different minerals to create the unique colourful pieces and effects and often layer colours. Ironically, it’s the wonderful imperfections in the process and products that make Murano Glass unique and what it is. It’s the expert craftsmen that make all products by hand and don’t use machinery or exact measurements to create their products and with that process, comes beautiful imperfections and why rarely you will find two pieces the same, they may look similar, but they will never match, making each piece unique.

Some glassware manufacturers use exotic wording with their products such as “vetro eseguito secondo la tecnica dei maestri di Murano” just know this is not Murano Glassware. This only translates to “glass created following the technique of Murano masters”, which means it’s not true Murano. Only glassware made on Murano Island is true Murano Glass and works of art!

We offer a trip around a wonderful Murano Glass Museum that covers the 1000-year history of glassmaking in Murano and allows you to view incredible works created between the 15^th and 20^th centuries, including world-famous Murano masterpieces. You can even watch the master glaziers practising their craft.
