The Frauenau Glass Museum (German: Glasmuseum Frauenau) in Frauenau in the Lower Bavarian county of Regen, previously a communal facility, has become a state-owned organisation since early 2014 called the State Museum of the History of Glass Culture (Staatliches Museum zur Geschichte der Glaskultur) run by the Free State of Bavaria. The museum curator is the art-historian, Karin Rühl. The museum was opened on 6 May 1975 by the founder of the museum, Alfons Hannes, in the presence of numerous international glass artists, including Erwin Eisch, Harvey Littleton and Sybren Valkema, with the highly regarded special exhibition Venini-Murano (Wolfgang Kermer collection).
