UNIQUE VIRTUAL GALLERY TOURS

Interactive museum experience

Here at The FOHBC Virtual Museum, we want to present to the bottle world and our membership, an experience with value. We strive to provide unique experiences to display, inform, educate, and enhance the enjoyment of historical bottle and glass collecting. No Gallery is the same, which provides us an opportunity to showcase them in a unique way. Clickable displays provide an interactive virtual experience visitors can use to navigate through the museum Galleries and special Exhibitions.

ACCURATE HISTORICAL REFERENCE

Read the history behind the bottle

The FOHBC Virtual Museum aims to show provenance and the known history behind each bottle. A bottle means so much more when you tell the story behind it. Every Gallery provides rich historical account coupled with historical imagery.
