The Opening of The Kid Museum of Glass
Jan 18, 2015
On the afternoon of 18th Jan., 2015, a fascinating and spectacular opening ceremony was held in the KIDS Museum of Glass. The families with children at different ages from different countries were invited to witness the memorable moment of the debut of the Museum.
Nearly 100 children of different nationalities from international schools, arts institutions, primary schools and other different places were the little guests for the activities during the opening ceremony. They “brought” their parents to witness and experience a brand-new glass adventure full of childlike funs. On that occasion, the sponsor, Shanghai Museum of Glass, and the designer, Coordination Asia, have jointly prepared the wonderful afternoon with games, performances, snacks and glass adventure for the visitors.
The children from professional arts institutions and international schools officially began the opening prelude for the Children Glass Museum with a merry drumming and vocal performance. And closely following, Zhang Lin, the Museum President, and Tilman, the chief designer of the Museum respectively extended the welcome messages. The visit in the Museum was rich and orderly: the interesting kid shows hidden everywhere enlightened the children’s interests in play and creation, the little surprises from time to time were waiting for the children’s exploration and acquisition. The children were divided into Red Team, Yellow Team, Blue Team and Green Team which respectively represented the flame, the starry sky, the beach and the moon (all were related to the scenes in the Children Glass Museum), turned into little warriors or curious babies to explore and discover a gorgeous and fantastic glass world with the adventure guide of Glass Game Manual. During the whole visit, there were amicable and professional leaders who explained to the visitors and wonderful interactive performances at different “sceneries”: the beautiful Cinderella in the “Starry Sky” Zone, the charming mermaids in the “Beach” Zone, the funny and cute clowns in the “Circus” Zone as well as face painters and magicians, who might appear at any time to amuse the children.
Of course, apart from the visit of the Children Glass Museum, the sponsor also carefully prepared DIY courses with different contents and a novel and interesting demonstration of the hot glass technology for the children. The children, under the instruction of the professional teachers, entered the laboratory and came to know glass in a way of artistic feeling. How marvelous and beautiful glass is with everyone’s deftness and inspiration! Meanwhile, the leisure zone and various tasty and fresh snacks were for the parents in the feast area at the main ground for the opening ceremony: funny DIY ice cream, DIY chocolate, etc. The parents and the children could enjoy the exquisite snacks prepared for them at any time.
When the tour, and the visit of DIY and hot glass performances were over, the children who still longed for more carried small wish lanterns, walked toward the square with the leaders when the night fell, and together took an innovative photo full of commemorative significance. Finally, the children, with the lucky bags and gifts, went back home with the farewell of museum mascots, Bobo&Lili.
