About Shanghai Museum of Glass
Its galleries connect the development of glassmaking with objects that show different uses of the material.
The art displays give a separate perspective from the technical interpretation. Glassworking demonstrations have also been part of the museum programme, but check current sessions before planning around one. A focused visit can move from material and production to finished artworks without depending on a scheduled performance.
What to look for
- Material and technology displays explain how glass is made and used.
- Glass-art galleries show the medium’s decorative and sculptural possibilities.
