Glass Museum

Breathtaking, elegant glassworks and a chance to see one of the finest chandeliers in the world.
During the Edo period in Japan glass was known as "giyaman", which is said to come from the Dutch word "diamant". We have brought together glass works from around the world to this museum of fine art. You can find this museum inside the Stadhuis, which was modeled after a Dutch town hall, located on Alexander Plein. The hall chandelier, with a width of 2.2 meters, height of 3.5 meters, and weight of 750 kilograms, is made of glass so crystal clear it would be impossible to recreate it in this day and age. Wedding ceremonies are performed on the third floor.

Location Binnenstad

Admission Toku-Toku Ticket or 400 yen
  • *Please be aware that the museum is closed when wedding ceremonies are taking place.
