CMOG ~ OUTSIDE AND ALL AROUND

The Corning Museum of Glass (CMOG) is a world-class attraction and has busloads of visitors throughout the year. Passengers disembark and head straight for one of the entrances. So, too, with those parking their cars.





Visitors wishing to learn more about the glassmaking process or perhaps make something themselves, head for The Studio just across a small parking area from CMOG.







Certain parts of CMOG's exterior are always noticeable. I decided to walk around the outside of the building and view it from less visible areas and to take note of adjacent structures.


D Building, in front of C Building (the 9-story "Black Box"), is a cafeteria with an outdoor seating area...









A rear view of C Building, just north of CMOG. If you're in the area during the Christmas holiday season, look for this building--at night--from anywhere in Corning. Certain office lights are left on to spell the word "NOEL" in giant letters...



On the north end of CMOG, part of Steuben Glass...



This photo was also taken on the northside of the building as I headed east to the front of CMOG...



These next four shots were taken on the east side, the front entrance to CMOG...
