2016年国际博物馆日免费开放

2016年5月18日

2016年5月18日是第40个国际博物馆日，今年的主题是“博物馆与文化景观”。博物馆不仅利用物理环境（地域），而且利用社会环境（社区）和其它多种环境（自然、城市或乡村），它们从属于这些环境，也直接或间接地代表着这些环境。正如《锡耶纳宪章》（the Sienna Charter）所定义的，文化景观即我们所生活的国度，以及在这一地域上独特的自然与文化背景以及这一景观所代表的意象与符号。

上海玻璃博物馆原址所在即为“玻璃仪器一厂”，作为上海玻璃工业的重要见证与发展因子，留下了一片颇有意味的旧工业建筑与气息。通过新、旧建筑的完美结合，上海玻璃博物馆及G+玻璃主题园区与传统工业氛围包容共生，更显创意活力。

在昨天如此特殊的博物馆日，上海玻璃博物馆再次践行五年来一贯的承诺，免费对公众开放。在“518国际博物馆日”当天，上海玻璃博物馆共接待逾5000名观众。在此，我们感谢各位观众的理解与配合，也感谢所有为国际博物馆日付出辛勤劳动的所有工作人员。希望上海玻璃博物馆每一天都持续为观众带去无尽惊喜与美学感受。

2016 National Museum Day

May 19, 2016

18th May 2016 was the 40th International Museum Day. This year, the theme is Museums and Cultural Landscapes.  Museums revolve around physical aspect (Geographic), social aspect (Communities) and various aspects (Nature, Cities and Villages). These aspects belong to and represent the environment at the same time. As defined by the Sienna Charter, cultural landscape means the country we live in, the unique nature, cultural background and the symbols represented by the landscape.

The Shanghai Glassware Factory was transformed into the Shanghai Museum of Glass. As the witness of the development of glass manufacturing business in Shanghai, the Shanghai Museum of Glass maintains the features of old industrial buildings. Combining old with new elements, the Shanghai Museum of Glass and G⁺PARK generate harmonious atmosphere as well as vitality.

The Shanghai Museum of Glass offered free admission to the public once again yesterday, which has been practiced for 5 years. There were 5000 visitors. We would like to thank every visitor for the understanding and cooperation, and show our gratitude to all the helpers.  On behalf of the Shanghai Museum of Glass, we hope that we can continue bringing surprises and aesthetic experiences to visitors.

“博造物设 流光溢彩”

上海玻璃博物馆五周年庆典暨设计新馆开幕式

2016年5月15日

秉承着“分享玻璃无限可能”的理念，上海玻璃博物馆不断实现着自我突破，继续在2016年踏实前行，步步进取，正逐渐成长为一个互动体验型的国际化、社区化博物馆。历经为期五年的淬炼与升华，上海玻璃博物馆特别推出设计新馆，公众可通过纯白的博物空间与设计，体会玻璃艺术品流光溢彩的灵动意境。相比于现有场馆以黑色为主的风格基调，强调内敛含蓄的沉浸式艺术氛围，设计新馆则更加明朗开放，拥抱日光。两处场馆如同“黑夜”与“白天”一样，关联互生又各富秉性，通过一座流光溢彩的“虹之桥”紧密相连。“虹之桥”以绚彩玻璃打造而成，呈现出火焰之间穿透而流动的光影，意喻蔓延的灵感与思维。

在设计新馆近2000平米的流畅简洁空间，汇集了众多世界知名设计师的经典余韵或是先锋创意。这些来自不同文化背景、拥有各异求学经历的设计师所带来的近40件截然不同的作品，不仅展示了玻璃这种材质所蕴含特性的广度和无限可能，也同样揭示了当代玻璃设计中超脱材质本身，跨界其他材料的创意，关注周遭社会问题与自然环境的体认。

在设计新馆中，我们同样为观众打造了全新的临展厅。围绕“设计”这一核心元素，首个面对公众的展览即为“天才玻璃梦想家”Kids Design Glass展览。2015年5月，上海玻璃博物馆/儿童玻璃博物馆从美国塔科马玻璃博物馆引进并在中国正式启动了Kids Design Glass天才玻璃梦想家项目。此次，来自2015年Kids Design Glass第一季活动的部分珍贵获奖艺术品将与公众见面。五周年庆典之际，上海玻璃博物馆不仅为观众奉献了设计新馆这一真诚力作，同时美国迪士尼乐园园区御用玻璃艺术品牌Arribas品牌特受邀请，破例走出迪士尼乐园特别驻园演出。Arribas兄弟还特地打造了一座梦幻玻璃城堡，永久捐赠与上海玻璃博物馆收藏。

作为G+玻璃主题园区的核心，上海玻璃博物馆将充分发挥展览、收藏、教育三大功能，努力践行博物馆肩负的社会责任与公共服务，为更多的城市居民提供多元化、高品质的艺术体验和美学享受。

The two venues are like “night” and “day,” associated but alternative, closely linked by a glittering Golden Fire Bridge, bringing audiences excellent visual enjoyment and visiting experience.

As another permanent display venue for the Shanghai Museum of Glass, the Design Wing collects classic and pioneer works from numerous renowned designers home and abroad, in its nearly 2000-square-meter concise and fluent space, with a consistent aesthetic factors and display principles, as well as infinite passion towards glass. The nearly 40 different works from designers with different cultural backgrounds and education experiences, show out the characteristics of breadth and infinite possibilities of glass as material, but also reveal that contemporary glass design transcends the material itself, crossover with other materials and paying attention to current social issues and natural environment.

Besides wonderful design pieces, we prepared Kids Design Glass exhibition and special performance from Arribas artsits. Miguel Arribas made a fantasy glass castle for museum and the castle will be the permanent exhibit of SHMOG.

As the core of G+park, fully playing its three key functions of exhibition, collection and education, SHMOG makes effort to implement the social responsibility and offer public services, providing multi-facet and high-quality artistic experiences and aesthetic enjoyment to more city residents.

VENINI客人一行来访

2016年1月28日

意大利著名艺术玻璃品牌VENINI总裁夫人Gabriella Chimento、Giulia Chimento等一行今天拜访了博物馆，与执行总裁张琳先生进行会面。博物馆曾于2011年与VENINI合作了90周年全球巡回展，广受好评。博物馆珂庐艺术会所再次与其携手，展示了意大利艺术灯具的独特魅力，并与博物馆结下了深厚友谊。此次设计新馆中，我们将继续展出来自VENINI公司的经典玻璃设计作品。

 VENINI公司自成立以来，一直保持着威尼斯艺术玻璃创新和权威的行业领导者的地位。公司也始终与富有才华的诸多艺术家合作，这些杰出的艺术家长久以来致力于为品牌的传统带来新的活力，创意和美丽。其中一些艺术家在VENINI艺术长廊中留下了更深刻、更独特的印记，即，他们印刻的图片和特点，独特的模式和形状，组合，材料，颜色，轮廓和透明度：从为VENINI创作开始，他们就完全保持了此“风格”，这种魅力，高雅和品质，一直代表着VENINI品牌最珍贵和明确的品质。

The Guests of VENINI Visited SHMOG

January 28, 2016

Mrs. Gabriella Chimento, Giulia Chimento and other guests of VENINI, which is the most renowned artistic glass brand in Italy, visited the Shanghai Museum of Glass today. SHMOG joined the hands with VENINI to deliver the amazing exhibition to celebrate the 90th birthday of VENINI in 2011. The kiln club was also decorated under the cooperation with VENINI and showed the unique charm of Italian artistic chandelier. In the future Design New Wing, we are going to display several wonderful pieces from VENINI.

Since establishment, VENINI has been a protagonist in the work of renewal and requalification of Venetian artistic glass. VENINI is also collaborating with various talented artists. These artists have brought new vitality, originality and beauty to a tradition that has accompanied mankind along its entire history. Some of these artists left a deeper and more exclusive mark of their passage at VENINI’s, that is, they imprinted the image and the character, the uniqueness of certain modes and shapes, combinations, materials, colors, outlines and transparencies: from their experience at VENINI’s they all retained that ‘style’, that allure, that elegance and that quality which always represented this most precious and unmistakable among brands.
