The Museum of Glass is celebrating 20 years of The Kids Design Glass program. Enjoy over 170 glass sculptures designed by children, each now part of the museum's collection.
To illustrate the roles of designer and glassmaker, the Museum introduced the “Design Your Own Vessel” contest. The program went spectacularly awry. Kids do not design vessels. They draw creatures—characters and monsters and imaginary beings. Kids do not write artist’s statements. They write fanciful descriptions and wild stories. And kids are not designers. Experienced designers know the limits of the material and understand the traditions of glassmaking. Kids do not know these rules, so they are free to create without constraint. The program was renamed Kids Design Glass.
Each month, MOG’s Hot Shop Team selects one child’s masterpiece to create the work in glass. The young designer, with family and friends, has a front row view, inspecting the work as it is created. After the work is cooled and cold-worked, one sculpture is given to the young designer and its near-twin becomes a part of the Museum’s collection.

The sketch comedy show Almost Live! aired on KING 5 from 1984 to 1999. It poked fun at regional stereotypes, gave us memorable characters and sketches, and launched local celebrities and national careers. It was a renowned success at a time when Seattle itself rose to national prominence. As grunge was dominating the charts and companies like Microsoft and Starbucks were expanding, Almost Live! was there to joke about it.
This small exhibit displays Almost Live! costumes and props, materials from the writing and production process, along with (lots!) of clips from the show. Together they tell the story of an inventive cast and crew who gave us a brand of local humor that was sometimes goofy, sometimes searing, and often wrestled with the anxieties of a region that was rapidly changing around them.
On view at Seattle’s Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI) August 31, 2024 – February 23, 2025, Almost Live! (Almost an Exhibit) explores a moment in time when the city of Seattle turned to comedy to make sense of the world around it—and had a few laughs in the process. So, mind your manners and speed walk your way to this exhibit!
Shoalwater Bay Indian Tribe artist Eugene Landry (1937–1988) was a gifted painter who captured local scenery and people. Paralyzed as a teenager, the bulk of his work dates from 1960–1979, a pivotal time in his Tribe’s history.
After his death, he was largely forgotten outside the Tribe until 2019, when artist Judith Altruda discovered around 70 of his paintings stored in a barn. With a Humanities Washington Storytellers grant, the Tribe partnered with Altruda to produce an exhibition and book, Portrait of Gene—An Artist, A Tribe, and a Time.
Learn about Landry’s creativity, spirit, and legacy in this expanded exhibition at the Washington State History Museum.

Even on cloudy days, Mount Rainier’s rugged 14,410-foot peak sparks our imaginations, and our hearts skip a beat when we’re lucky enough to see its sunny glacial gleam. This breathtaking icon is one of the state’s most beloved landmarks. Known to the Puyallup people as təqʷuʔmaʔ, the most dominant topographic feature in our region is their traditional and ancestral land, as well as that of the Cowlitz, Muckleshoot, Nisqually, Squaxin Island, and Yakama tribes.
This exhibition will focus on our human connections with Mount Rainier. 2024 marks its 125th anniversary as a national park, and it continues to attract millions of tourists, climbers, and nature lovers to its snowy slopes every year.
The exhibition will explore the history of mountaineering and recreation through artwork, photographs, promotional materials, mountaineering gear, and souvenirs. It will also feature pieces from the Washington State Historical Society’s notable Rainier Beer collection, including an original “Wild Rainier” costume from the legendary television commercials.
