Museum Photo Slide Show – Permanent Exhibits
This page features a slide show of photographs from the inside of the National Museum of Cambridge Glass. The photographs feature mannequins posed with tools and items from the factory. These dioramas are part of the permanent exhibit in the museum that explains the various processes that were part of glassmaking. In each of the dioramas, original equipment from the Cambridge factory is featured.
Among the various departments depicted are the etching department, the packing room (including an original barrel and a salesman’s trunk used to hold samples of glass), the cutting bench, the finisher’s bench, a worker blowing glass through a blowpipe, and finally the original Cambridge Glass Company mold for the 16″ Swan Punch Bowl. You can see all of these, plus a new diorama each year at the Museum. The NCC is very proud to have obtained so many of the original company items to display.
