Charleroi - Glass Museum Musée du Verre

The Musée du Verre (Glass Museum) occupies part of the Institut National du Verre on the Boulevard Defontaine to the east of the Hôtel de Ville. The museum comprises two large departments, one concerned with the history and production of glass throughout the world, the other with the development of the Belgium glass industry in particular. On display are some quite exceptional examples of the glass-maker's art from Antiquity to the present day. A permanent exhibition on the ground floor provides a showcase for the glassware manufactured in Belgium today.
