Mauritius Glass Gallery (MGG)
Immersed in the fascinating world of glass blowing and glass ornaments, the Mauritius Glass Gallery, created in 1991, is a place where experienced artisans make one-of-a-kind glass works of art.
The Mauritius Glass Gallery is a Glass Foundry situated in Phoenix. It was created as a preservation measure of the local environment, by the former Mauritius Breweries Ltd and Phoenix Camp Minerals. The idea behind this initiative was to recycle glass waste from the two companies.
Our mission today, as part of the PhoenixEarth Initiative is to continuously encourage and challenge the artistic concept behind glass upcycling as well as developing other potential recycling concept such as aid in the production of asphalt through the incorporation of glass particles in the mix.
The Mauritius Glass Gallery also provides its visitors the opportunity to watch the traditional glass-blowing process or to have a glass model produced of their hand or foot imprinted in sand.
The gallery also has a variety of intriguing glass objects that may be purchased and also has lovely lampshades, stained-glass paintings, vases, and drinking containers on exhibit.
