The unfortunately named Pukeberg Glasbruk, just southeast of the centre of Nybro, is interesting for its historic setting (dating from 1871) which is being rejuvenated under the government's plan to resurrect the ailing glassblowing industry. Here you'll find galleries, workshops and the Swedish School of Glass.
