Shanghai Museum of Glass

The museum part is okay, there are a few interesting items but mostly great for kid workshops where they can make things, and fun glass blowing presentation at 1:30pm. It has several buildings, a glass souvenir shop and indoor and outdoor play areas.

Great experience friendly to English speakers. The museum is much larger than it seems because it's actually a small campus of buildings. They also host glass blowing demos if you come at the correct time.

It's a perfect place for adults and children to spend their weekend. Here you can get an overview of how glass is produced in nature and the history of glass making by humans. Glass art from all over the world is on display in a number of galleries. All descriptions of the exhibits are in both Chinese and English. You need to buy tickets at the entrance. There is also a theatre next to the main building for kids to have fun and a shop which sells all kinds of glass products.

The great one museum in Shanghai that must visit, its location is out from the downtown city but not too much far. The museum give much information about the glass - from early history to the present used of glass in many meanings as decorations, pieces of art, furniture as well. There's usually have the demonstration of making glass and DIY workshop for children and visitors, awesome place.

It's a pricey but ultimately worth it museum if you like to learn the science behind glass as well as see some nice art installations. 50 rmb for general admission and 50 rmb for the special exhibit. We'll worth the money IMO. The BRKN special exhibit is very well curated. Each installation has an accompanying song (accessed using a QR code). The general admission isn't too shabby either. Take a cab from the subway stop. Walking would take way too long.

really big complex, come during the weekends for more special exhibits, expect to spend more than 90 mins here

Really nice excursion. Staff was super friendly and the displays were super well done. A must-see for design and architecture lovers.

The museum have a fantastic exterior, contains a lot of modern glass pieces, have two cafeterias, and have a show showing how to make glass. The show makes it 4 stars, otherwise some parts of the museum are sort of empty, or full of glass art with no history. The shop is good though, have things in glass you cant buy otherwise. Anders
