The Stourbridge Glass Museum is in with a chance of winning Sustainable Project of the Year at the 2025 Museums and Heritage Awards.
The museum has been recognised alongside prestigious institutions such as The Natural History Museum and the National Trust for its innovative Greener Glass Exhibition.
The exhibition is a celebration of sustainability, showcasing the beauty and innovation of environmentally conscious glass art, co-curated by UK artists in collaboration with University of Birmingham students.
It aims to demonstrate the “transformative” power of recycled materials, turning waste into captivating art, featuring artists from the last ever year of the glass course at Wolverhampton University.
“Due to overwhelming popularity, the exhibition will now run until 27 July 2025, giving visitors even more time to explore this inspiring display of sustainable artistry.”
They added: “The museum’s nomination for the Sustainable Project of the Year award further cements its reputation as a leader in both heritage preservation and environmental innovation.”
Featured artists in the Greener Glass Exhibition include Hannah Gibson, whose piece ‘Recycling Narratives Cohesion’ is made from 100 per cent recycled car windscreen glass, as well as Jan O’Highway, Elena Fleury-Rojo, Ivet Bibet, and resident artists at Stourbridge Glass Museum, including Terri Malcolm.
The winners of the Museums and Heritage Awards will be announced at a glittering ceremony on May 15.
