Making Ideas: Experiments in Design at GlassLab is a unique exhibition that showcases the Museum’s signature design program, GlassLab, in which designers are invited to work with hot glass. The exhibition features over 150 design prototypes by nearly 50 international designers, and it centers on material and the activity of thinking and making. Making Ideas emphasizes the role of designers and the process of creation and collaboration using glass as a design material.

In exhibitions at the Museum, objects are generally assembled to shed light on a theme or on history.
