The permanent exhibition
The exhibits on the ground floor display the early stages of the history of glass and provide basic information on glassmaking techniques, including glassblowing, the mechanical production of glass and decorating techniques.
The upper floor of the building is devoted to the history of the Finnish glass industry and products such as bottles, polished crystal and pressed glass. The history of Finnish glass design is divided into sections on the history of serial manufacture, art glass, and glass art.
