Museum of American Glass (MAGWV) MAGWV is
a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt not-for-profit organization located in Weston,
WV. Our mission is to share the diverse and rich heritage of glass as a
product and historical object as well as telling of the lives of glass workers,
their families and communities, and of the tools and machines they used in
glass houses. The Museum
contains representative samples of glass products as widely varied as pressed
and blown tableware, art glass, bottles, marbles, insulators, automotive glass,
glass eyeballs, and much more. There is also equipment and tools which
were used in glassmaking. We preserve the history of the places and
people who made these products. The Museum
examines the rich history of some of America's most famous glass factories,
while carefully understanding the impact that the hundreds of smaller and
oftentimes forgotten glass houses made on the history of the glass industry.
MAGWV displays
many of the diverse and beautiful objects produced by factories during the
past century, attempting to compare and contrast similar pieces produced
by once competing companies. No other public collection offers such
contrasts on a large scale. |
