The Mauritius Glass Gallery works with one hundred per cent recycled glass. Visitors watch Mauritian craftspeople give new shape to material bound for waste: glassware, pieces for the home, works of art.

What sets it apart

The workshop also offers the chance to leave a mark: a glass model is made from an imprint of the visitor’s hand, to take home as a memento.

Highlights

  • One hundred per cent recycled glass
  • The glassblowers at work, seen up close
  • A hand imprint cast in glass

Good to know

  • An indoor stop on the central plateau, between the west coast and Curepipe.
