Living history of the work of yesteryear in Cartagena

This museum is special. It is the effort, hours of volunteer work and passion for glass blowing, of a group of retired artisans, who joined forces to preserve one of the most beautiful and difficult crafts in the world, already in danger of extinction. In the museum there are unique, centuries-old pieces that coexist with other glass works made in the 21st century. Passionate about glass, they voluntarily open the museum on Saturday mornings and hold glassblowing exhibitions, free of charge. A visit is essential if you are in Cartagena, since glass blowing is part of the city's 19th century history.

Traditional place in Cartagena, but it was difficult for us to get to the place since it could be better signposted. Recommended visit

It's a shame it's underused.

Magnificent experience to learn about the glass manufacturing process with an exhibition included.

We visited it on museum day and they had a glass blowing exhibition, we really liked being able to see how they did it, we were all amazed seeing how the man made the figurines of different animals, what skills he has and how much practice he has. The museum itself is very cool, it has incredible figures, we got a good feeling.

Nice place.

The truth is impressive if you don't know the work behind it

Musée fermé. Et d'après nos renseignements . Définitivement.
