Riihimäen Lasimuseo - Riihimäki Glass Museum, Riihimäki, Finland

A few hours visit to Riihimäki Glass Museum on a rainy November day, and then a visit to Lasinpuhallus JL-Lasi (a small glass factory in Riihimäki,too) where we could see how glass is blown. The last four pictures are from an old small mill in Sälinkää, Mäntsälä.

I got excited when I saw that your most recent photo would be coming from your glass gallery. Photography and glass go together as if...well, as if they were made for each other. I enjoy both the art glass and the shots from where glass is made.

This gallery reminds me of my visits to a glass factory in the South Island of New Zealand and another one in Venice. I always admired the glass art pieces from DAUM but I've never owned one made by them because they are so expensive. I've got a Murano and one from NZ. Thanks for this gallery.
