为孩子的梦想插上翅膀

2015年7月12日

在你身边的某处，或许躲着能变成各种食物的小精灵，或许藏着拥有特殊神力的小怪兽，或许隐着来自外星球的小伙伴……虽然大家都没有见过这些生物，但是我们每个人都能够描绘出我们心中的奇幻生灵。

超速飞鸡！

四眼精灵！

甜圈吃人怪！

这些名字听上去好奇怪啊，可是，这都是我们天才玻璃梦想家笔下的奇思妙想！

2015年7月12日上午，我们邀请了6位获奖的天才玻璃梦想家们及其家庭来到儿童玻璃博物馆的K空间，与美国TACOMA玻璃博物馆热玻璃工作团队进行视频对话。

“妈妈，这是我的画！”“爸爸，你看，好看吗？”一进入K空间，小朋友们牵着爸爸妈妈的手急忙开始寻找自己的作品，并骄傲地向大家介绍了自己的作画小想法。

九点半，视频对话准时开始。远在大洋彼岸的热玻璃工作团队，一边认真仔细地为小朋友们解答各种关于玻璃、关于自己作品的小疑惑，一边忙着将其中一位获奖小朋友的《多眼双头怪》一点点以多彩的玻璃塑造成形。孩子们最关心的莫过于自己的作品是否成功这一话题。于是，TACOMA博物馆的工作人员将已成型的玻璃作品一一做了展示。当画面中出现自己的玻璃作品时，小朋友忙向爸爸妈妈“炫耀”。而那些还没发现自己的玻璃艺术品的小朋友们，脸上没有一丝失落，反而更耐心地等待。小朋友们，在自己的座位上，痴痴地望着顶级艺术大师们出神入化的技艺，见证着这件作品成型的那一刻。

为这一个个奇思妙想插上翅膀，成为一件件精致的艺术品，并不是一蹴而就的，而是需要时间慢慢打磨。当所有获奖作品都打造完成时，我们将在2015年10月举办KIDS DESIGN GLASS展览，与大家一起感受由这些绘画与玻璃艺术品所打造的童话世界，欣赏天才梦想家的童真与幽默，感叹艺术家们的非凡表现力。

让我们一起期待，一起为孩子的梦想之翼鼓掌！

Let Children’s Dream Soar

July 12, 2015

In somewhere surrounding you, perhaps there are elf that can become various foods, little monsters that have extraordinary power, or friends come from other planets…… Although we never see these creatures, all of us can depict them in our mind.

Speeding Flying Chicken!

Four-eyed Monster!

Men-devouring Donut Monster!

These strange names, in fact, are the name of the fantastic creatures designed by our talented glass dreamers!

In the morning on July 12, 2015, we invited six awarded talented glass dreamers and their families to come to the K-Space of Kids Museum of Glass, and have a Skype chat with the hot glass studio of the Museum of Glass in Tacoma.

“Mom, this is my painting!” “Dad, look, is it look good?” Entered the K-Space, the children held the hands of their father and mother, began to find their work hurriedly, and were proud to introduce their ideas of the painting.

At half past nine, the Skype chat started on time. The hot glass studio answered doubts about glass production and children’s own work patiently, at the same time, they were busy to create the work of one of the awarded child called “Multi-eye and Two-head Monster”. The most concerned topic of the children is whether their work is successfully produced. Thus, the studio showed the completed glass works to them. When the screen has showed their own glass works, children immediately “show off” to their parents. For those children who had not found their own glass work, their face had no trace of lost and they had more patience to wait. Kids sit on their seat, journeying looked at the top artistry, witnessed the forming moment of their work.

It needs time to plug in the wings on our whimsy and let them to become the fine art. When all the awarded works are completely produced, we will organize the KIDS DESIGN GLASS exhibition on October 2015, share the fairy-tale world that created by the paintings and glass artworks, appreciate the innocence and humor of our talented glass dreamers, and lamented the extraordinary expression of the glass artists.

Let us look forward and clap for our children dreams!

活动由DIY体验开始，最流行的漫威人物与可爱呆萌的大白绘于玻璃水培瓶上，高更风格的马赛克拼贴，以及最受同学们欢迎的热熔戒指与挂坠制作，在大家复的丰富想象力之下诞生了一系列创意非凡的作品，亲手体验了玻璃创作的乐趣。紧接着是艺术品导览，以“流动”为主题，上海玻璃博物馆精心挑选了六组来自不同国家艺术家的艺术品与设计品。这些玻璃艺术品与设计品不仅体现了玻璃在高温中流动的特性，也展现了自上世纪60年代兴起以来的玻璃工作室运动的繁荣与交流。

压轴活动是上海玻璃博物馆执行总裁张琳先生的交流会，交流会上不仅与复旦大学博物馆馆长、系副教授刘朝晖老师进行了书籍互赠，同时向各位复旦学子们分享了上海玻璃博物馆的社区化发展之路。如何在博物馆事业迅速发展的今天走出一条属于自己发展的道路，是上海玻璃博物馆始终在思考的问题。如何与社区居民的生活更加贴近？如何举办受年轻人喜欢的展览？如何打破博物馆“冷冰冰”的面貌，获取更加强大的生命？分享玻璃的无限可能，开创出属于自己的一片天空。

此次“流动——上海玻璃博物馆进校园活动”不仅是复旦大学博雅学社“518国际博物馆日”系列活动之一，也是博物馆与复旦大学文博系进行深入合作的起始点。馆校合作作为博物馆机构的日常业务重点，也将是上海玻璃博物馆未来关注的方向。在未来，上海玻璃博物馆将与复旦大学文博系在人才培养、博物馆发展策略、展览策划、教育活动等诸多方面进行深入良好合作，发扬博物馆职能，向更多观众传递博物馆生活方式。

Flowing – Activity on Campus by The Shanghai Museum of Glass

May 26, 2015

Glass is an amazing material that can be soften and becomes liquid at 900 degree Celsius. People discover the special characteristic of glass and turn it from an usual material to a splendid work of art. On the 26th of May, Shanghai Museum of Glass (SHMOG) and Fudan University worked together to hold an activity on campus.

In the DIY workshops, students could paint their favorite characters of caricatures and Baymax on glass bottles as well as make different mosaics collages. Among various workshops, DIY workshop of glass accessories such as rings and pendants was the most popular. Students enjoyed the workshops and they experienced the way of beautifying glasses with creativity. Not only did students experienced the amusement of glass from DIY workshops, they also learnt more about glasses through exhibition. The theme of exhibition was “flowing”  and 6 different collections of artistic glasses from different countries were displayed. The splendid artistic glasses revealed the “flowing” characteristic of glasses as well as the prosperity of glass workroom movement and the idea exchange about glasses since 1960s.

In the conference , Zhang Ling, our CEO, shared the community-based planning of our museum with the students of Fudan University and exchanged books with associate professor Liu. Searching an unique way for the development of SHMOG is the most important question today. So we need to think about how to build a closer relationship with the community, to hold an interesting exhibition for young group and break the traditional impression of Museum. Only solving these kinds of problem can we become more competitive.

The “Flowing ” is one of the activity of the “518 International Museum Day” and it marks the beginning of cooperation between SHMOG and Fudan University. Establishing a closer cooperation relationship between museums and universities is the critical planning of museums and it will be the main concern of SHMOG in the future. Thus, in order to extend the functions of museum and to put museum into people’ leisure time, SHMOG will keep cooperating with Fudan University in the field of career training, strategic development of museum, exhibition planning and education programs.

Shanghai Museum of Glass welcomes its 4th Anniversary celebration. It is also a landmark year of the construction and development of G+Park where the Museum locates. G+Park and celebrities from all walk of life toasted together to celebrate. The grand ceremony of 4th anniversary with a theme “New Park New Dream, Glassy Heart Happy Heart” took place in the new wing of Phase II of G+Park.

A museum can nourish a city and a community. In the past four years, we presented 18 marvelous exhibitions to the public, from annual Chinese Antique Glass Special Exhibition to unreserved support to contemporary glass artists, crossing ancient and modern time, linking China and the world. The number of collections owned by the Museum is growing steadily. Every year Chinese antique glasses enter the museum in order, enriching contemporary glass artwork series. At present there are 1182 exhibits in total. The Museum also organized 35 interesting public activities corresponding to the season, such as exhibition-related seminars, creative workshops, glassy laboratory, listen to a glass concert, a night at the museum, movie night at the museum, romantic Christmas dinner and etc., that enriched the museum content, turning the museum into a saloon for the urban residents. Meanwhile, artists and designers from 23 countries including the US, UK, Italy, Germany, Netherlands, Turkey, Australia, Mexico, Kenya, Japan, South Korea participated in all kinds of exhibition projects and public activities, bringing international ideas and perspective. Dedicated creative exhibitions, colorful fun cultural activities and innovative museum management concept attracted about 380 000 visitors to share the infinite possibilities of glass with us. Shanghai Glass Museum, together with National Museum, Museum of the Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses of Emperor Qin are selected as “three museums in China that you cannot miss” by a website operated by CNN. To us, this is a tremendous recognition and honor.

Surrounded by the beautiful artistic environment of Shanghai Museum of Glass, the brand new G+Park came into rudiment shape. G+Park is the first original theme park in the country that attaches to “museum”, the urban eye, using art and culture as media to transmit sense of happiness to urban residents and guiding a new fashion featured with museum lifestyle. “G” stands for “glass”. Through diversified interpretation of this theme, it continues to share the infinite possibilities of glass, to fulfil the beautiful dream. The “+” sign does not only mean adding up in the physical sense, but to have active chemical reaction between the various architecture unit with different features in the Park and the magical element of “glass”, thus bursting out refreshing charm. The Park proudly owns the splendid Shanghai Museum of Glass, artist studio, allowing the public to merge into the rich artistic atmosphere. It also has the Kids Museum of Glass characterized with “cool play cool dazzling cool fun”, allowing both adults and children to discover the infinite fun brought by glass, and to enjoy the relaxed family leisure time. There is also elegant KILN club, the Italian-style Murano restaurant, cozy and delightful museum café shop, factory store and fine gift shop that have world-known brands, to contribute flavor and glamour to beautiful life. To integrate art into life, to make happier life, this is the concept that the whole Park expects to pas to the urban residents.

At the Thank-You Ceremony of G+Park’s 4th Anniversary on May 17, 2015, Zhang Lin, the president shared with all guests the extraordinary achievements made in the past four years. They took the chance appreciating the splendid sights of different spaces of the new wings of Phase II during the four-hour colorful experience, presenting the brand new image of “new park new hope, glassy heart happy heart”. Rainbow Chapel, Banquet Hall, N1 Art Office Tower, these three new wings born inside the park integrate old industrial factory and creative design, by perfect combination of “new” and “old”, it presents an architecture space with unique feature. No matter it’s to organize a personalized romantic wedding ceremony, to participate in a high-level artistic culture activity or to strive for personal career, we expect that these three brand new dreams can bring strong sense of happiness to the city residents, enabling the museum lifestyle to fully extend. Here it will give birth to a brand new dream about glass, expecting everyone with dream in heart will share wonderful life with G+ Park. This is both a mission and a common vision for G+ Park people.

The three new constructions inside the park that were unveiled on May 17, 2015 were only tiny dreams of the G+Park. In today’s post-industrial era, people will no longer only desire for material satisfaction, but to continuously pursue spiritual happiness, with incessant pursuance to happy life. By taking the chance of continuous construction of G+ Park, embracing full humanitarian care, we expect that in the future, urban residents will come here to appreciate art, celebrate newly born, commemorate love, strive for career and even enjoy retirement life, extending museum life style and enjoying full-fledged sense of happiness in life.

Dreaming Rainbow Chapel of brand new concept

The dreaming Rainbow Chapel of brand new concept will serve as dream-like ceremonial chapel.

The exterior wall of the construction is composed of two levels, the outside is a semi-open square framing structure, and a dazzling glass cylinder structure located inside. The exterior wall is made of numerous layers of colorful glasses. Such design has created a joyful atmosphere for weddings to be held here in the first place. In the meantime, the round shape implies infinite sweetness in the future life of a couple who are going to wed. This is the first wedding center attached to a museum in the country. It combines wedding ceremony and art aesthetics, tailored design and fashionable lifestyle, to plan an important ceremony for a life as glorious as glass. It will definitely become a favorite venue for young people to pursue fashionable wedding ceremony.

Multifunctional Banquet Hall with extreme modernity

This is a dreaming palace for wedding ceremony, renovated from a 50-year-old factory, of a total size 1200 square meters, located on the west side of the museum park. The Museum designated architecture design company, German Logon Architecture and the museum designated interior design company, Coordination Asia, jointly completes the architecture design and interior design.

周六博物馆教育活动精彩上演

2015年3月28日

精彩纷呈的博物馆教育活动轮番上演，不论是玻玻璃璃实验室还是修修补补玻璃心都为不同阶层的博物馆观众提供更多的知识普及，在愉快的氛围中体验玻璃的无穷乐趣。 

上午10点，来自中国科学院上海有机化学研究所的大哥哥大姐姐们为小朋友们带来了“玻玻璃璃实验室”的第三期。这次实验室以“酸与碱的对话”为主题通过丰富多彩的小实验让小朋友们了解了看似平凡的“酸”与“碱”在实验室里也有不一样的重要作用。无论是用PH试纸检测酸碱，还是观察酸释放气体，碱能够沉淀的奇妙现象，都让孩子们了解了一定的化学知识。最后的曼妥思可乐实验和大象牙膏，把正常活动推向了高潮。剧烈的反应现象不仅让孩子们为之尖叫，就连大人们都惊讶不已。玻玻璃璃实验室系列科普活动不仅让高深的化学知识走出冷冰冰的实验室，在欢乐轻松的氛围中让小朋友们了解化学的有趣一面，同样也成为了父母和孩子难得的亲子互动时光。

下午的“修修补补玻璃心”活动是“露华莹澈”展的系列教育活动之一。博物馆特别邀请来自复旦大学文博系文物修复的老师与同学和广大观众一起进行玻璃器修复。复旦大学俞蕙老师首先为大家讲解了文物修复的相关知识，普及了文物修复的基础理论和有趣案例。最有趣的玻璃修复既有难度又非常有成就感，破碎的玻璃器物在专用的文物修复胶作用下竟然可以修补起来。参与观众们都小心翼翼地完成了各自的修复作品。

在2015年，博物馆将更加重视教育活动。根据不同观众的年龄层次与兴趣，开展不同的教育活动，丰富博物馆教育内涵，分享玻璃的无穷魅力。

The Opening of The Kid Museum of Glass

Jan 18, 2015

On the afternoon of 18^th 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.
