SHMOG - Shanghai Museum of Glass

July 19, 2011  •  Leave a Comment

I visited this museum yesterday. I was surprised and delighted at the quality of the exhibition: spotless modern design of the space; a great balance of history/education exhibits with modern pieces; English captions along with Chinese.

It's a good 30 minutes out of the city in an otherwise unremarkable area. It will be great when the cafe opens (the nearest convenience store to get a bottle of water is a good km away). And the selection at the gift shop needs to go up several notches... But all in all, I highly recommend it!
