Glass Museum Passau
Glasmuseum Passau
Holds about 30,000 pieces of Bohemian, Bavarian, and Austrian glass, said to be the world's largest collection of European glass.
The Glass Museum is housed in the historic Hotel Wilder Mann beside the town hall. Its collection includes about 30,000 glass objects made between 1650 and 1950 in Bohemia, Bavaria, Austria, and Silesia, spanning Baroque, Rococo, Biedermeier, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco styles. It is considered one of the richest collections of European glass in the world. The galleries occupy dozens of rooms across several floors, so the route is long. Admission is about €7. It can be combined with a Danube cruise and a visit to the town hall. Glassmaking is a traditional industry of the Bavarian Forest, and here you can see its finest work.
