A national collection of stained glass, religious and secular, from 1200 to the present Day.
This unique museum offers an insight into the history and techniques of stained glass. For at least thirteen hundred years the art has been practised in Britain. You will learn the secrets
of this ancient craft and glimpse its role in the unfolding story of British history.
Main Gallery
Our Main Gallery contains displays of stained glass windows ranging over eight centuries in specially illuminated cases. It offers a rare opportunity to view stained glass up close, to compare windows produced at different times, in different styles, and for different settings.
