Vimbodí Museum of Glass

Glass manufacturing was a very important activity for this small town until the 1950s. In the museum’s upper rooms, they tell us about the history of glass and show pieces for everyday use that were donated by Vimbodí residents themselves. The most interesting part of the museum is the Paco Ramos workshop, where this craftsman demos handblown hot glass, made without moulds. Paco heats, blows, twists, cools and reheats the glass in the furnace, as he goes through the whole process and describes the temperatures he works at to shape these delicate pieces.
