Glas-Labyrinth
About This Museum
People don't just come to the Glas-Labyrinth to see glass; they come to get lost in it. Tucked along the serene shores of Lake Lucerne, this museum is a mesmerizing playground of light and reflection that challenges your perception at every turn. The main event is, of course, the labyrinth itself—a shimmering maze of glass walls and clever mirrors where laughter echoes and finding your way out becomes a delightful, shared puzzle. It’s an experience that feels more like interactive art than a traditional museum visit, leaving you with a sense of childlike wonder.
Collection Highlights
The centerpiece is the sprawling labyrinth, a disorienting and beautiful maze crafted from glass panels and mirrors. Beyond that, you can watch master glassblowers shape glowing molten glass into delicate creations in the historic Glasi Hergiswil factory, a tradition dating back to 1817.
Visitor Information
You'll find it right on Seestrasse in Hergiswil, easy to spot with its modern glass facade near the water. It's a fantastic family-friendly stop, but be prepared for the giggles and slight dizziness that comes from navigating a hall of mirrors!
Architecture & Building
The building is a striking mix of old and new, seamlessly connecting the historic red-brick Glasi factory with bold, contemporary additions that make extensive use of glass, reflecting the lake and mountains.
