Museum; The National Glass Centre

The National Glass Centre is a unique venue situated in Sunderland thats allows people to see how how glass works from all over the world are produced. It also lets them explore there own visual creative ideas with glass by allowing them to mould and sculpt pieces from themselves.
The building is made from steel and glass the entire roof is created from glass allowing people to go up and look down 'Not good if your scared of heights trust me!'
The Centre provides local exhibitions and National exhibitions for the general public and also education facilities for schools.
There aim; 'Our aim is to be a centre of national excellence supporting the production, exploration, presentation and enjoyment of contemporary glass.' You certainly learn alot about glass when you visit more than I ever thought went into the production of glass and also the endless possibilities you can achieve with it.
