Royal Opening at Stourbridge Glass Museum

HRH The Duke of Gloucester formally opens Stourbridge Glass Museum

The 19th of April 2023 was a special day for all concerned at Stourbridge Glass Museum as they welcomed the Duke of Gloucester, Cousin to the late Queen Elizabeth II to formally open the Museum.

The success follows 12 years of fundraising by the charity 'Trustees of British Glass Foundation' to find a new home for the world-renowned Stourbridge Glass collection after it was put into storage following the closure of Broadfield House Glass Museum. The result is the transformation of a derelict site into a multi-million-pound world-class glass museum.
