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.
