Hello, It's a museum review again! Glass Museum Penang is located in the heart of the city at 6 Jalan Burma  10050 Georgetwon Penang. If you're planning a visit, do note that the admission fee is RM18 and allocate between 1 to 2hours for viewing and photography is allowed. For every paid entrance ticket entitled for a plate of glass to enjoy the process of crafting anything you like on the glass. The staff will help on the finishing process and bring back home as a memorable souvenir. In fact, IBOX Museum also provides free guides tours, where staff will explain the various glass making processes and the history of IBOX Museum.

As everything is fragile, and ' Once Broken, Considered Sold' rule applies here. However, staff will allow you to handle some exhibits. First of all, The Ibox Museum of Glass is not only a museum and foremost a concept store, that specialised in various glass making service and products. For instance, decorative items, clocks, painting, key chains, jewellery, accessories, mugs, pendants, photo frames and holders. The creative glass art pieces are displayed at this compact museum offering custom-made souvenir. Every item in the museum is for sale. However you are just as welcome to purely view all the various exhibits, as all their products are neatly displayed in categories. 




Hmm, IBOX Musuem is also one of a kind museum holds the Malaysia Book of  Records as the first glass museum in the countrry. Besides this, the highlight at the IBOX museum and known for completing the Longest Glass Batik Painting in the world. Over 12 metres long and 1.5 metres high, not just the creative usage of glass, also the manufacturing of glass is actually so interesting. The Longest Glass Batik Painting is also featured in the Malaysia Book of Record. Sound like very great right?! And we are fortunate that we able to catch the glass  artists of Ibox Museum at work - Bowie.
