Become Part of Our Legacy

2026 Museum of Glass Capital Project

In the second quarter of 2026, Museum of Glass will embark on a capital renovation project with the goal of modernizing, improving, and expanding its gallery spaces.

This will include new state-of-the-art lighting, sophisticated casework, interactive audio/visual components, enhanced visitor flow, and the addition of the Lino Tagliapietra Legacy Gallery.

This project builds on what makes Museum of Glass distinctive and relevant, ensuring it remains an inspiring resource for the city of Tacoma, the Pacific Northwest, and audiences around the world for the next 25 years and beyond. It will advance the Museum’s mission to ignite creativity, fuel discovery, and enrich lives through glass and glassmaking, and make its community stronger.

Our vision to build new, state-of-the-art galleries and the Lino Tagliapietra Legacy Gallery requires transformational philanthropy to succeed, and the Museum is still in the process of fundraising for the project.

Our community has been a central voice in bringing us to this moment. We look to you now as our most important partner – one who deeply appreciates Museum of Glass as a pillar of the Pacific Northwest cultural landscape and keenly understands the urgency to make this institution more vibrant and elevate its impact. This is an opportunity for visionary donors to become a part of our legacy and ensure its prominence for generations to come.
