Fabulous. Very talented artists and artistic items. Not the garbage art that you see at the museums who give money to untalented people.

Free museum with an exceptional collection of glass artwork and the best gift shop in the Fox Valley. The building could use some renovation, but it doesn’t detract from the experience for the most part.
