Never been to a glass museum before, what a surprise! The only thing I knew before visiting was from some basic television programs that detailed how they blow glass, but this museum was mostly about fused glass. It’s incredible what they are able to do and how intricate the designs, details, and colors are! Everything inside the paperweights is glass! That’s the only way they could possibly do it since anything organic would just burn up in the heat! They have an interesting historical section too! The ladies at the front desk were very helpful and were more than happy to answer any questions. Admission is free, but obviously they accept donations to keep the museum going strong. Enjoy!

LOVED this museum! The staff were so talkative and sweet, we were given a personal tour by one of the guides. Lots of beautiful glass to see. Bonus, theres a light house within walking distance! Will come again next time were in the area.

Im not usually very in to art museums but this museum was incredible! The art was so interesting and beautiful. You could go back again and again and always notice something new every time! The staff were wonderful and took time to show us the galleries and give more details on the process of making glass art. The gift shop was also supper fun and filled with many unique pieces! I definitely recommend visiting!

Always fun to visit and definitely need to check out the Art after Dark nights.The gift shop also has alot of unique gifts.

This place has a lot of very cool pieces. The pictures dont do most of these justice. We were so engrossed in the artwork that we completely lost track of time.Its free to get in and look around. They do accept donations. There is also a gift shop with some unique glasswork, much of it very reasonably priced.The staff here are great too! (Forgot to put that in my original review). Very friendly and knowledgeable!Well worth the trip!There are tons of Pokestops and gyms all around this area for the Go players.

This is a MUST SEE display ! Rich with history and wonderful pieces. Im going back as I didnt allow enough time. If youve ever wondered, go.

Nice museum with an unusual collection - glass paperweights. The staff were friendly and talkative, yet we were given plenty of time to just look through the collection on our own. No entry fee - just a quiet donation box which we were glad to drop some bills in after our visit.

Nice museum learn something new about glass. Surprising, beautiful prices.

Best glass museum ever. Glassware from the 1600s to now.

I had no idea we had such a fantastic glass museum in the Fox Valley. I highly recommend fans of art glass go see the amazing display. And the gift shop has numerous glass items affordably price.

Wonderful exhibits of blown glass, including paperweights made with glass canes. Exhibits included how to panels and a video kiosk to watch short (2-8 min.) videos. Free parking and free admissions. Masks required as posted.

The museum has a wonderful assortment of glass art. The gift shop also has some souvenirs including some glass pieces of varying sizes. There are also art classes available that teach you how to make glass art of your own, though if you are just passing through keep in mind it can take a week or so to have the pieces fired in the kiln before you take them home.

Fantastic museum across from beautiful park. I was surprised at the size of the museum and the variety of contemporary art pieces. My husband, who threatened to stay for only 30 seconds, ended up staying for an hour, engrossed in the complexity and artistry of making glass paperweights and other art pieces. Free admission. Highly recommend!

Amazing, breathless

Amazing glad exhibits! The grounds are also astounding. They have historic glassware collections and modern glass art. And its free! Donations are encouraged and definitely worth it.

Really nice museum featuring lots of different glass pieces. They have a lovely gift shop, too! Admission is free so its definitely worth it to stop by if youre in the area :)

Great little museum with friendly and knowledgeable staff!

If you like contemporary glass, this is the place for you. Located in a mansion facing Neenahs Riverside Park, theres always something amazing to see. Admission is free but a contribution is suggested. Insider tip: Theres a pretty great museum shop and in December its loaded with gifts and holiday ornaments.

Ive always loved glass art, especially paperweights. What an awesome display.

We really enjoyed itLook forward to visiting againAlso offer classesAdmission is free but donations appreciated

Its beautifully set on the lake and the Glassworks are amazing.

Love the gift shop!

Fantastic glass collection. Great gift shop. Beautiful location.

Lovely building and some interesting exhibits. The information provided and the displays of paperweights are educational and artistic.

Beautiful and historic glass objects in the Bergstrom Mansion overlooking Lake Winnebago. Very nice gift shop.

Love this Museum. At first I was over taken by the paper weight displays. However, there are some amazing pieces that are a must see

You just have to see this on your own. Amazing art in glass, from paperweights to sculpture. One downside: They still do not have their COVID procedures down. Its distracting when youre consistently interrupted by staff to find out who the last people to enter are.

Wonderful pieces and studio to learn the craft of glass art

Very polite and informative staff. Wonderful glass art.

Beautiful setting and glasswork along with friendly, helpful staff.

Enjoyed it very much. We came to see the glass from NHS, and decided to do the whole museum.

My disbelief at how beautiful the museum is. No kidding, this place is awesome!

Beautiful art and very fun and engaging classes. A must stop location if youre in the area!

Free. Neat place to visit when friends are in town.Donate.

Very unique place and a must see when visiting Neenah. Beautiful area too, right on the lake!

Beautiful museum on the shores of Lake Winnebago steeped in the areas history. A nice place to take children and teach them about the past, the industry that built the region, and the players involved who came before them.

FANTASTIC !! Will be going back soon

Took a class which was a lot of fun. Great teachers and careful handling of class environment given COVID (which was appreciated).

Great place to visit..

This is my familys museum, it was great to visit with my dad. It brought a lot if stories together.

We go every year to pick our family ornament. They have glass blown ornaments made in the usa.

Beautiful place to visit. A lot of interesting pieces to see.

If you like glass you will not be disappointed going here. This place is so neat and the people that work there are very friendly. Outside the museum is another thing to see with its beauty and the river/lake across the road well worth to walk around. Even driven through the town is a great sight.

My husband and I visited a few yrs ago. Its so beautiful. We collect glass paperweights and glass figures. Love the beautiful view too. We will return and I say go n youll enjoy it n be amazed.

Wonderful museum

Ive been here multiple times and the staff is always friendly. Admission is free and donations are welcomed. The museum often has interactive activities going on and fun events. They offer classes and have activities and art for all ages. My favorite room is the Boardroom. One of the times I went the museum had a scavenger hunt throughout all the exhibits. They provide adult classes and fun date night activities. Also, the museum is located right across the street from Riverside Park, so you can easily make plans for a full day out.

Enjoyed going with my kids. Most art is behind glass and safe around kids. The pieces are beautiful. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They have a cute gift shop for all price ranges. It is free but they have a box for donations if you want to help with their overhead. There is a great park across the street which makes for a nice outing for the family.

This must be the BEST museum experience I have ever had. Usually my art tastes are more about modern art, like politically charged pieces and nude photography and mixed media and graphic design. I was thoroughly surprised not only by the pieces but also by the friendly and funny staff. Intriguing, attention grabbing exhibits like This Just In that include modern pieces donated to the museum by local artists, and antique and even ancient pieces such as Sweetmeat glasses and painted goblets. I would definitely consider going again.

Gorgeous Glass Art, well worth the 700+ miles drive. Went for the paper weights - over 900 pieces! Also learned so much of the history of that art form. Other glass and Exhibits were amazing! Cant believe all that beauty, and no cost for admission or parking.

This museum has such pretty glass. The people who work in the museum are really nice and accommodating. There are so many paperweights! They are cool to see. This place is worth checking out on a day you need something to do. Just a suggested donation to enter!

The gift shop here is great! Perfect items for a fun gift idea!

An astounding display of many types of glass art. They also offer many classes and workshops. Also has a nice view of the lake. Really a cool place to visit and for free unless you choose to donate. Also have a pretty cool gift shop with items at a wide range of price points that everyone can afford

Enjoyed watching the videos that the museum has before I walked around. I now have a greater appreciation for the art of glass blowing. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.There is also a wonderful little park across the street with picnic tables and a playground for kids. My husband and I had a nice lunch by the water.

I found this location as an assignment for a summer class through UW-Green Bay and Im so glad I did. I went in with the mindset that I just wanted to get my assignment done, but a few hours later I was sad to part ways. It was one of the coolest experiences I have had. I spent around 2 hours here and could have easily spent more time. There are so many pieces of art here and many have such intricate details. One of the workers talked to me about my assignment and would check up on me once and a while pointing out some of her favorite pieces. This added to my experience because I could tell she was also passionate about being there. This worker also pulled up a video for me on one of my favorite pieces so I could see how it was made.

A museum that boasts the largest collection of paperweights may not seem like a required stop in Neenah, but it is definitely among most interesting places I have ever visited. The staff was very friendly and full of knowledge on everything in the museum. My personal favorite was the exhibit on the making of the paperweights. Also there is no absurd admission price, just a suggested donation. Overall a wonderfully interesting place to stop and visit.

Very cute and interesting! Would definitely recommend going. 😁

Great place with beautiful glass work. certainly joined our tour...and especially all the beautiful paper weights....and their gift shop.

Free museum but donation is appreciated. Great collection of paper weights in permanent collection. They have special exhibits, this one being on inclusion of all.

Beautiful glass works

Such a wonderful place. We love the glass projects! Fun and easy. They always turn out great.

I absolutely loved coming here. They have such beautiful pieces on display

Free museum. Art classes on select Saturdays and week long camp for kids in summer. Beautiful and unique glass displays throughout the year. Art in the park with beer garden 3rd Sunday in July is fantastic.

This is a great place to explore the wonderful world of glass artistry without even leaving Wisconsin. Plus, the museum offers hands-on workshops, too!

Interesting free admission museum. There are a lot of art events to participate in for every age. They range in varying degrees of difficulties, the price for the programs also vary in price and need to be signed up for online. Would recommend stopping by just go look around.

We love visiting this museum. The traveling exhibits are always very interesting.

Fantastic collections! Great gift shop.

Great place to meander around and look at beautiful art. Its free, and there is tons to look at. They also offer classes for all ages.

Beautiful

Great place to visit and relax. Awesome glass art and friendly staff.

The glass sculpture exhibit is truly fascinating and inspirational.

Spectacular exhibits! Stunning, intricate pieces of glass art. The detail in the paperweights is particularly fascinating.

Absolutely Love this museum. Everyone should visit at least once. Once you have visited, you will want to come back!

Phenomenal art classes that are always pushing artists that attend, both old and new, on top of a really well put together art exhibit (at all times)!!!

We went there for the Neon and Plasma opening event. The greeter was friendly and knowledgable. Artists were present for live demonstrations and they did a fantastic job. Demos were so popular that the museum stayed open for an extra hour or so. Jacob Fishman - great guy and very interesting artist.

Fun place to look around. Staff was very nice.

Took my grandaughters. We played I spy in each room. They cant wait to go back again.

Bergstrom is a real local treasure. In addition to their permanent collection of amazing glass, they bring in mind blowing travelling exhibits of contemporary art. A definite must see!

Awesome exhibits. Tons of information and history. Bands throughout summer.

Beautiful place to explore a part of history often forgotten - the evolution of glass. Overlooks a beautiful part of the lake.

Nice museum for a couple of hours visit. Great gift shop

Very beautiful and amazing place to go to. And admission is free.

I never thiught paperweights could be interesting but the Bergstrom-Mahler Museum has opened my eyes and given me a new appreciation for this form of glass art.I visited this free museum on my first trip to Neenah with my family just a few days ago. It was a Thursday so it was a calm day with few other visitors during our afternoon visit. This free museum is spacious and clean. Most of glass on display is paperweights, complete with an interactive explanation of how paperweights are made. They also have a modern glass section and an antique glassware section. The downstairs area has a glass studio where the community and sign up for various glass making classes. The classes seemed very approachable and reasonably priced (not to mention the friendly staff). I would love to come back for a glass class when I return to Wisconsin.

Beautiful Glass Museum! Free admission, donations only...how much better does it get?

An extensive and diverse collection of glass art that will amaze, surprise, and inspire - from large, surreal modern works to exquisitely-executed miniatures that will leave you in awe of what can be created in glass. The museum is housed in an estate in a park-like setting on the shore of Lake Winnebago.

Stunning muesum of glass works that would delight any lover of handcrafted beauty.

Fun class

Wonderful displays with rotating exhibits and out fun family activities throughout the year.

Quiet artsy getaway and its free

Delightful find. Very well laid out displays.

They frequently update their displayed art. The main attraction is pretty awesome glass art.

Friendly staff, beautiful pieces, very clean and beautiful building! Wonderful gift shop.

Such a wonderful place, loved making a sun catcher!

Free admission, very friendly staff, parking right in front, and city park with impressive playground across the street.

Always love visiting here, great gift shop too!

Amazing! A lovely place to stroll through.
