从熔炉车间到艺术空间，上海玻璃博物馆的建筑在一甲子的发展中经历了工业化到现代化的转型。场馆改建时，在大量保留原有空间结构与细节的基础上，上海玻璃博物馆被赋予了艺术观赏性、互动娱乐性与再生创造性。结合玻璃艺术与建筑本身的特点，在主馆内塑造了众多参观亮点，如“万花筒入口”、“历史长廊”、“玻璃屋”、“古玻璃珍宝馆”等，实现着玻璃艺术在空间上的升华。

Each of the drawings, technique notwithstanding, is a unique piece work that vividly demonstrates the children’s incredible imagination: simple, pure, and full of details and information from their enlightened minds. Their paintings were then crafted into enchanting art works by the Hot Shop Team of the Museum of Glass in Tacoma.
