About the digital guide
The free Pittsburgh Glass Center digital guide joins more than 750 cultural institutions around the globe on the Bloomberg Connects platform. Pittsburgh Glass Center was the first organization on the app that is dedicated to glass art and combines both visual and performance art. Locally, we are joined by The Andy Warhol Museum, Contemporary Craft, and Silver Eye Center for Photography to represent the Pittsburgh area in the growing collection of digital guides.
Pittsburgh Glass Center’s guide complements an onsite self-guided tour of the facility and enhances that experience with additional educational audio and video content. The PGC tour through Bloomberg Connects, narrated by Emmanuel Chumaceiro, is a useful way to prepare for a visit to PGC helping people understand what to expect, orienting them to the unique space, and promoting thoughtful conversation and exploration about the science, art and history of glass.
