Broadfield House, a Grade II listed building,[1] was home to a glass museum and hot glass studio, owned and operated by Dudley Council museum service and was located in Kingswinford, West Midlands, England. The museum closed on 30 September 2015.
It displayed a huge variety of glass objects, dating from the 17th century to the present day, across nine galleries.
