Redlands is home to the only museum west of the Mississippi River that celebrates the art of American glass.

With more than 7,000 works by leading American manufacturers and artists, the Redlands Historical Glass Museum shows off the beauty of this delicate material. Located in a restored 1905 Victorian, the museum’s collection spans nearly 200 years, with pieces from the 19th century to the present, showing the nearly endless, creative ways that artists work with glass.

Beautifully illuminated cases in nine rooms exhibit decanters, cake stands, perfume bottles, even glass rolling pins and—yes—a glass iron that was produced during World War II when metals were in short supply. These pieces may have been intended for everyday uses but their gorgeous shapes and brilliant hues prove that even practical items can rise to the level of art. Be sure to see the graceful hand-blown works created by internationally renowned contemporary glass artists, and the selection of glass art once owned by celebrities, including Liberace and silent film legend Harold Lloyd.
