A FINAL exhibition is running at Broadfield House Glass Museum in Kingswinford before the world famous museum closes its doors for good ahead of the opening of a brand new state-of-the-art glass attraction in Wordsley.

The latest – and last – exhibition at Broadfield House is a trip down memory lane, charting its 35 years as a glass museum.

From studio glass made during the official opening by Princess Michael of Kent in 1980 to the Richardson Goblet bought by the Friends of Broadfield House in 2015, each year is represented by an artefact or publication that celebrates the achievements and acquisitions of that year.

This retrospective exhibition marks the end of a significant chapter in the history of the borough’s glass collection which will be relocated to the White House Cone (old Stuart Crystal Glassworks) site in Wordsley, which will open as a brand new glass museum next year.

Councillor Khurshid Ahmed, Dudley's cabinet member for regeneration, said: “For regular visitors this exhibition will bring back lots of happy memories and for new visitors it will be a chance to see what has been achieved by the museum over the past 35 years.

“We are looking forward to working with the British Glass Foundation on the opportunities that the new facility at the White House will bring, but we also want to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of the loyal staff and volunteers who have worked at Broadfield House over the years and helped to establish the museum’s international reputation in the world of glass.”

The final exhibition will run until Wednesday September 30 when the Compton Drive museum will close its doors to the public for the last time.

Broadfield House is open from noon to 4pm, Tuesday to Sunday. Admission is free.
