上海玻璃博物馆1月讲座回顾
1月19日，“谁的考古学”工作坊
艺术家中田一志的首场国内个展——《我的考古学》正在上海玻璃博物馆展出，艺术家在展览中分享了“他眼中的考古学”。为了揭开考古学的“神秘”面纱，帮助大众形成对这门学科的正确认识，上海玻璃博物馆于2019年1月19日策划了“谁的考古学”工作坊，邀请了三位来自不同领域的特别嘉宾为我们分享他们对于“考古学”的一些解读。
首先，由上海历史博物馆馆员戎静侃老师为我们介绍“考古学”，对考古学研究的理论框架和范围、对象、方法做一个完整的勾勒。其次，虞思明律师从现行法律的视角来看考古学，针对“谁的”做一些讨论。最后，策展人阳昕从艺术家的角度出发，讲述艺术家是如何看待这样一门有些神秘的学科。
观众伴随着热乎乎的冬日暖饮，与现场嘉宾进行了热切的交流，分享各自对于考古学的理解和困惑。通过此次工作坊活动，观众对于考古学家的工作有了更加科学的认识，同时也对考古的意义、文物及其蕴含的科学和艺术信息有了更深的体会。
1月26日，“饮茶二三事”讲座
不久前热播的电视剧《知否》对宋人的闲适生活进行了细致的描绘，博物馆也希望能借此机会让大家了解宋人的风雅生活，尤其是与饮茶相关的文化。
1月26日，上海玻璃博物馆举办了“饮茶二三事”讲座活动，并非常有幸地请到了上海复旦大学的赵琳老师。赵琳老师以热播电视剧《知否》为切入点，为我们介绍了宋代茶事的备茶过程以及备茶过程中会用到的各种器具，展示了相关的文献和实物。
通过讲座，观众了解到了关于宋代饮茶的一些小故事和知识，并积极参与讲座后的问答小环节。讲座结束后，观众在王沁老师的带领下参观了“玻心璃语”工作室，感受玻璃与当代饮茶文化的关联。
“谁的考古学”工作坊和“饮茶二三事”讲座是上海玻璃博物馆2019年开年的两场公教活动，得到了观众的积极反馈，观众亦期待博物馆之后能策划出更丰富多样的教育活动。在2019年接下来的日子里，博物馆也会继续以展览为依托举办相关的教育活动和一系列对谈讲座，请大家关注和期待！
