FOCUS IN

Students utilize glass art techniques and tools to create their exhibit artwork.

The Bergstrom-Mahler Museum of Glass provides extraordinary experiences to spark fun, kindle creativity, and illuminate learning for all. The museum was established in 1959 and has exclusively been a glass art museum since 2012. Admission is free, thanks to our founders John Nelson and Evangeline Bergstrom, along with Ernst and Carol Mahler. Each year, we provide over 200 exhibitions, classes, camps, and community events that invite people of all ages and backgrounds to experience glass art in our galleries, studio, and museum grounds. We are proud to be the only glass museum in Wisconsin, ranked in the top five glass museums in the country, and we are accredited by the American Alliance of Museums.

Community Connections
The Teen Voices in Glass exhibition and Glass Experience Days has been a signature two-part program at the museum since 2009. In 2012, coinciding with the museum’s new mission to focus exclusively on glass, the exhibition and related experience days focus solely on students working in that medium.
