Musée du Verre, Carmaux
The Glass Museum of Carmaux, in the north of the Tarn between Cordes-sur-Ciel and Albi, is devoted to the glassmaking history of the Carmaux area. Less well known than its mining tradition, glassmaking was present here from the 18th to the 20th century.
Set on the heritage site of the Domaine de la Verrerie, the project was built on three elements: the museum and glass art centre with its shop, the glass workshop with glassblowing demonstrations, and the Glassmakers' Biennial. The museum has been reported closed to the public since 2019.
