A short while back, we went to the Shanghai Museum of Glass. We’ve been wanting to go for a year now, but its quite a ways away by subway and then switch over to a bus. With our Son and his wife here visiting, it was a perfect time to go. Plus with four of us, we decided to take a taxi for the last leg as it would be just as cheap as four bus tickets.<\/p>\n

It was a cold and rainy day outside, so it was a perfect day to visit.<\/p>\n

Its a pretty non-descript building in front, buy there are more building behind housing a glass blowing shot, modern glass art and a cafe’. They also have a building to the side for kids where they can play around creating crafts.<\/p>\n

Inside are displays (many interactive) of the history of glass from an eastern perspective as well as modern applications including self-cleaning glass, insulating foam glass, safety glass, heat and shatter resistant glass, etc.<\/p>\n

The second floor consists primarily of glass art work and a multitude of late 19th century snuff bottles.<\/p>\n

About an hour into our self-guided tour, we stopped to go see a glass blowing demonstration in the other building.<\/p>\n
