The Stained Glass Museum

About

A unique collection of stained glass, religious and secular, from 1200 to the present day. www.stainedglassmuseum.com/

Story

The Stained Glass Museum was founded in 1972 when the Dean and Chapter of Ely Cathedral proposed a project to rescue windows from redundant churches. The Museum was opened to the public in the north triforium of Ely Cathedral in 1979. In 1997 an Appeal was set up to rebuild the Museum in the south triforium of Ely Cathedral. The Stained Glass Museum is the only museum in the UK dedicated to displaying and interpreting the art of stained glass to the public.

Our collection spans an enormous chronological range, showing the development of stained glass from the thirteenth to the twentieth century. The Museum also has a growing collection of tools, and stained glass designs and cartoons related to the design and making of stained glass windows. A specialist library is available to researchers by appointment.

This museum displays over 120 stained glass panels, some of which are 800 years old. The displays allow you to appreciate the stained glass, up close at eye level. I found the tutors at workshop on copper fouling to be knowledgeable and patient.

A lovely adjunct to the main cathedral. Collection of stained glass from ancient to modern times with both religious and secular objects on display. Also look out for the stone gargoyles on the museum wall.
