Shanghai Museum of Glass has presented impressive exhibitions over the past several years, from the glass art exhibition by domestic and international art students, the annual antique glass series exhibition, to Keep It Glassy, international creative glass design exhibition and the Annealing series exhibition that combines glass and other forms of contemporary art. The Shanghai Museum of Glass presents the public with the integration of glass art and design that closes the gaps in time, space, culture and language. Over the past 60 years, Shanghai has been through a massive transformation from its industrial age to today. The Shanghai Museum of Glass maintains the basic structure of the site’s existing factory, expressing its original details and creating a highly artistic and interactive space. To highlight the building’s previous function as a glass factory, there are several feature areas, including the Kaleidoscope Entrance, Corridor of History, House of Glass and the Jewelry Box
