Product Info
－Hakone Venetian Glass Museum－
Nestled in the lush greenery of Sengokuhara, Hakone, the Hakone Venetian Glass Museum is the first museum in Japan dedicated to Venetian glass. The museum houses a collection of approximately 1,000 pieces, with about 100 items carefully selected for permanent display based on rotating themes.
The exhibits span various eras and styles, centered on Venetian glass from its golden age in the 15th and 16th centuries. The collection also includes ancient glass from the pre-Christian era, decorative glass revived by the Salviati workshop in the 19th century, and modern glass art from the 20th century, showcasing the delicate evolution of craftsmanship and aesthetics.
Outside the gallery, you can enjoy the interplay of light and shadow created by crystal glass wisteria, seasonal flowers, and glass installations in the garden, which offers views of Owakudani. The on-site cafe and restaurant features live music, perfect for relaxing after your gallery tour. The museum also offers a glass-making workshop and a gift shop for added enjoyment (some activities require an additional fee; please check on-site announcements).
Facility Map
Spanning the bridge leading from the garden to the entrance of the Venice Glass Museum, the "Corridor of Light," a crystal glass archway approximately 9 meters high and 10 meters long, is composed of about 160,000 crystal glass pieces. Swaying in the breeze that blows through Hakone, it displays ever-changing expressions of light and shadow. Every autumn, when the maple leaves turn red, it shines with an exceptionally dazzling brilliance under the interplay of sunlight and wind.
The Venice Glass Museum brings together the pinnacle of craftsmanship, showcasing the ultimate in beauty. Its collection comprises approximately 1,000 works, encompassing masterpieces from the Golden Age of Venetian glass in the 15th and 16th centuries, ancient glass from over 2,000 years ago, decorative glass revived in the 19th century by figures such as Salviati, and 20th-century glass art. Special exhibitions are held throughout the year, each featuring approximately 100 carefully selected treasures, inviting you to immerse yourself in the delicate and elegant brilliance of glass.
Strolling through the garden of the Hakone Glass Forest Museum, you can admire a variety of roses, from classic roses cultivated in the West to modern varieties native to Japan, all vying for attention and blooming in vibrant colors.
Every year in late spring and early summer, pale purple wisteria blossoms in the mountains of Hakone, a flower beloved by the Japanese since ancient times. Faraway Florence, Italy, also boasts famous wisteria displays, said to have been introduced to Europe from China by Marco Polo. The Hakone Glass Forest Museum's garden features 77,000 crystal glass beads (1.4 cm in diameter) strung together in 770 clusters to create a "Crystal Glass Wisteria," shimmering in the early summer breeze and dappled sunlight. Its appearance changes with the weather and time of day, offering a moment to savor.
