The museum is housed in a building from 1804. Its permanent exposition traces the stylistic and technological development of Bohemian glass from the 18th century to the present, and features unique models of glass-making workshops (engraving, cutting shops, a glass furnace). A new 2012 annex presents short-time exhibitions on glass-making themes (history, technology, artists´ and craftsmen´s exhibitions). The museum shop offers replicas of historical glass, black glass jewellery, authentic jewels and specialised literature.
