Corning has two main attractions - the Museum of Glass, and the Rockwell Museum of Western Art - we enjoyed both of them. I took lots of pictures of pieces of glass, but will spare you most of them...
Olivia and Alex wanted to pose with some extremely large glass fruit...
And there was a glass flute...
a glass octopus
a gorgeous Tiffany window (bad photo as there was no flash photography allowed and I don't have a tripod!)
and a very large glass filagree ball. Not to mention a ton of other stuff. We did watch a demo, though we didn't make our own glass pieces (which you can do, for a price).
Corning also has a historic Market Street, which has some nice buildings and shops,
as well as the Rockwell Museum of Western Art, which we really enjoyed. It's a nice size - you can really look at everything without getting burned out and there are some lovely pieces there.
I loved this one (though the colour is somewhat off, due to the red walls in this room)
and this one, where the colour is surprisingly true!
And there was dressing up. What more could a boy (or girl) want?
