About the Museum
The Gelman Stained Glass Museum is the largest antique stained glass museum in the United States. The museum started construction in 2015 and officially opened doors in December of 2021, constructed solely to house the collection. The stained glass windows are each illuminated by back-lit LED lighting, each window specially curated to resonate the brightest, perfectly replicating the effects of natural sunlight. With over 16,000 square feet to wander through, this museum is a must-see destination for anyone interested in art, history, and glass.
