Learn the Art of Glassmaking

One of the coolest parts of the museum is getting a behind-the-scenes look at how glass art is made. You’ll discover fascinating techniques like:

  • Sandblasting – where glass is artistically carved using high-speed air and sand,
     
  • Fused glass – layering colorful glass pieces and heating them to fuse into a design,
     
  • Airbrushing – spray painting detailed artwork on glass surfaces.
     

And yes, it’s as fun as it sounds!

Hands-On Fun: Make Your Own Glass Art

This isn’t your typical museum where you just walk and look — at i-Box, you do. You can roll up your sleeves and join a DIY session to make your very own glass souvenir. Whether it’s a decorated glass bottle, a custom keychain, or a small plate, it’s the perfect personal keepsake from your Penang trip.

Home of a Record-Breaking Masterpiece

One of the main highlights here is the Malaysia Book of Records certified glass batik painting — a massive piece over 12 meters long that beautifully blends traditional batik art with modern glass techniques. It’s the largest of its kind in the country and an absolute must-see.

A Museum with a Green Heart

The i-Box Glass Museum also promotes eco-conscious art by incorporating recycled glass in its exhibits. It’s a creative, educational way to raise awareness about sustainability — while still being totally stunning to look at.
