Timed-Ticketing Info & Visitor Guidelines

Phase 1 of our public reopening begins Saturday, September 19, 2020!

The Museum of American Glass, Down Jersey Folklife Center, and the Museum Stores will open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays & Sundays. The Grounds and the Museum Stores will also be walk-in (non-ticket) accessible for those coming exclusively to shop or stroll.

Education programs, docent tours, and group visits are also canceled until further notice.

To help ensure our staff and guests’ safety, all public surfaces will be cleaned regularly throughout the day, following CDC cleaning guidelines. Our staff is also performing temperature checks every day upon arrival. Please see our timed-ticket options and guidelines for visitors below.
