Museum/Gallery

The glass gallery is located near the city of Phoenix in the central part of the island. It was founded in 1991 by one of the largest beverage companies with the aim of protecting the environment and recycling glass waste. Here, works of art are made from recycled materials. Every year the museum is visited by about 60 thousand tourists. The magic of glass captivates you from the very entrance. Glass traces lead to the doors to the gallery, and the walls are lined with glass bricks. At the beginning of the Gallery, the “Hand of Glory” exhibition is located, here you will see the handprints of world stars who visited the island. Judging by them, many famous actors, writers, musicians and politicians have visited here. After the museum, visitors enter the glass-blowing workshop. Here you can not only see the work of masters, but also try to make something yourself. In the workshop you can order a glass sculpture with your own hand or foot print, made according to your wishes, in various frames and with engravings, of various shapes. Among the gallery's popular items is a misshapen wine glass with an unusual stem, a unique, random product. The Glass Gallery shop is one of the best places on the island to buy handmade souvenirs that are labeled "Made in Mauritius".
