Susie Silbert discusses the relationship between Corning Glass Works and The Corning Museum of Glass. Oral history interview with Susie Silbert conducted by Catherine Whalen, February 25, 2020, Bard Graduate Center. Clip length: 00:46.

Susie Silbert: The Corning Museum of Glass [Corning, New York] was founded by the Houghton family, which is—which are the founders of Corning Glass Works, now Corning Incorporated, as a gift to the nation to teach the country about the material of glass. And so it’s always been a nonprofit, but it has also—both Corning Museum and Corning Glass Works are closely aligned. I think one of the things that I notice the most and that infuses everything about the museum is that Corning Incorporated is a company that’s devoted to R&D, that believes in research and that sees the benefit in research and takes a long view, and I see that in everything the museum has done.
