 | |  |  | Murano: The Glass Museum in Murano | Tip Rating:   |  |  | |  |
When we went to Murano it was raining and storming very hard, so instead of walking around first, we went to Glass Museum directly. Not too many people were there, probably the bad weather had prevented many tourists from going to Murano that day. The museum has lots of glass items on display, arranged according to the centuries in which they had been made. We saw beautiful things, including a huge centerpiece in the shape of a garden. Wonderful as it was to look at, I felt pity with the poor servants who had to clean it and set it up on the table. Much detailed information was given on the process of glass making. This was very interesting, I had never known how many different kinds of glass there are. Before we went out in the rain again, we had a coffee( from a machine !), which was better than many coffees in restaurants in Germany. And for just 50 cent it was really cheap. The entrance fee to the museum was 2,50 Euro. It's worth going there even in sunshine. Update: Ingrid (VT member Trekki) told me, that the entrance fee is now 5,50. I don't know if we looked like senior citizens and got the reduced rate? Or we were thought to be the teachers of a school class who had been waiting before us? Leave a Comment
