Glass Museum
Glass MuseumExcellent museum, with a large historical collection, a didactic area about new technologies, a large shop, and a living demonstration of Steuben’s staff.
I’ve seen some other glass museums in the world after being there, but this museum keeps being my number one.

Glass masterpieces
It’s not only a shop: It’s an example.
Along main street, several shops offer beautiful glass handicrafts, with the artists working in background. The influence of the excellent school and museum is notorious, and the city became one of the world’s best known glass manufacturing locations.
The prices… well, if we compare them with Murano…
What to buy: Glass handicrafts
Fairfield Inn
Fairfield InnQuiet, clean and cheap
First time sleeping in Corning we stayed at Fairfield’s. It was exactly what we needed, so, it became my hotel in town, and we stayed there again. A warning: be careful if you use the hotel’s phone. Some of my friends were presented with astronomic bills calling to Portugal, charging even the failed attempts to connect.
