Opened in Spring 2011, the Shanghai Museum of Glass is a welcome addition to the city's cultural scene. Housed in a renovated former factory, the beautifully displayed exhibits guide visitors through the history of glass, some of its lesser known applications and a stunning selection of glass art by international artists. A glass blowing demonstration area, regular temporary exhibitions, cafe and gift shop make a great place to wile away a few hours and children will enjoy the fun, interactive elements dotted throughout.
