ICOM Conference at the Shanghai Museum of Glass

On the afternoon of November 10th, 70 members of the ICOM committee (DEMHIST, Glass, ICAD, and ICFA) visited Shanghai Museum of Glass. Although the museum has not been totally finished, the members of ICOM were greatly surprised by the space structure and design concept of Shanghai Museum of Glass. During the visit, our CEO Tilman Thürmer extended a warm welcome to the ICOM members together with president of the Shanghai Museum of Glass, Zhang Lin. In his welcome speech Zhang Lin emphasized: “We want to be the best glass museum in China, and we want to present a new museum experience to the people in Shanghai and throughout China. We do not just want to simply put objects in showcases. We want our museum to be a platform for international special exhibitions, events, educational programs and be open for researchers from all over the world.”
