World's Largest Glass Pumpkin

Through October 31, 2026
Courtyard Lobby
Made by our Museum glassmakers, the giant pumpkin is a whopping 97 inches (more than eight feet) in circumference and weighs in at 70 pounds.
The pumpkin was created in 2009 by the glassmakers who present the Museum’s live glassblowing demonstrations.
The pumpkin-making process took a team of eight glassblowers more than 50 hours of work, 17 attempts, a lot of shattered glass, and a few lopsided prototypes.
