The Next Step for Broadfield House Glass Museum


Today MP Ian Pearson and Cllr Pete Lowe visited the museum to see the new Scottish Glass Exhibition Migrate. Broadfield House is the only venue in the UK showing the exhibition.

On Course For A National Museum of Glass for Stourbridge

The passion and belief for a national museum to celebrate the Stourbridge Glass Industry remains and negotiations have started with Dudley Council.

The Glass Collections and Archives here at Broadfield House Glass Museum are the best in the world and now all possibilities and every effort will be explored to create the dream of one day having an International museum of glass in the centre of England - which of course is Stourbridge.
