Bergdala glastekniska museum displays glassworking machines and examples of glass made or worked with them. The museum traces technical developments in the glass industry from the late 18th century to about the present. Visitors can see and touch machines that were once common in glassworks, including glass presses, a semi-automatic bottle-blowing machine and four etching machines. The collection also includes hundreds of patterns for pantographs, used with two of the etching machines.

The museum is in Bergdala, in the Glasriket area of Småland. Its website says that more than 100 glassworks operated in the surrounding area during the industry’s heyday, which began in the early 19th century. Around 50 people worked at the Bergdala glassworks.

Admission is free, and the museum welcomes donations. During the winter season, it is open only by appointment, subject to availability.
