[2024 Shanghai Attraction] Travel Guide for Liuli China Museum (Updated Sep)

Visit the Shanghai Museum of Glass Art to learn about the stories of the Thousand-Hand Guanyin and the creators of glass flowers

The Shanghai Museum of Glass Art is open from Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00-17:00, with the last admission at 16:30. The first floor houses a glass art shop and a café, while the second and third floors feature paid exhibitions. Yang Huishan is the founder of the museum, and her permanent exhibition is on the third floor. The Thousand-Hand Thousand-Eye Guanyin and glass flowers are the museum's treasures, showcasing her interpretation of Eastern aesthetics. Since observing the third cave of the Mogao Caves in 1996 and learning that the Dunhuang murals would eventually dry out and peel off, she decided to dedicate her life to preserving culture by casting the Thousand-Hand Thousand-Eye Guanyin statue in glass, leaving behind eternal beauty. Creating a Buddha statue is no easy task; transforming a flat mural into a three-dimensional statue requires attention to numerous details and masterful glass craftsmanship. The Thousand-Hand Thousand-Eye Guanyin statue in the museum's collection is truly beautiful, with the proportions of the facial features on all four sides being just right, and the posture of each part of the body vividly lifelike. Fan Jinshi, director of the Dunhuang Research Academy, refers to Yang Huishan as the 493rd cave of the Mogao Caves because there are currently only 492 caves at Mogao. Yang Huishan has always been passionate about life, and glass flowers have been a constant theme in her creations. Glass, burned at a high temperature of 1400 degrees, undergoes more than ten meticulous handcrafting processes to bloom into an eternal glass flower in the flow and transformation. In addition to the glass art exhibition, there is a temporary Western art exhibition on the second floor from now until September 1: "The Flying Eye—Exploring Contemporary Art at the Legendary Château de Capazza in France," featuring 14 artists and their 46 works, including sculptures, photography, paintings, glass, and ceramics. The museum is located at 25 Taikang Road, Huangpu District, in the former site of the Shanghai Watch Factory parts workshop. The building's exterior wall is adorned with blooming iron mesh peonies, composed of 5025 petals. At night, the lights illuminate the flowers in a dazzling array of colors. This article references the official introduction of the Shanghai Museum of Glass Art. For more exciting details, see the museum's official WeChat account. The museum may offer free admission on International Museum Day, May 18 each year. Next to the Shanghai Museum of Glass Art are the 3A scenic spot Tianzifang and the Sun Moon Light Center at Dapuqiao, which can be visited together. The museum is not far from Dapuqiao Metro Station on Line 9.

Do not miss the museum when you go to Tianzifang

Still grateful to Aiwenyi, the ticket includes the Shanghai Liuli Art Museum, which is right across from Tianzifang, and I gladly went there. The first floor is the sales area, and the second and third floors are the exhibition halls. Moreover, the second floor is for pottery exhibitions, and it is not until the third floor that one is dazzled by the Liuli. I did not expect that the Taiwanese actor Yang Huishan is also a Liuli artist, and her works are indeed very expressive. The pictures seem superficial, only when you are there can you fully feel the impact. If there is anything less than perfect, it is that the facilities could be further improved.

Shanghai Liuli Art Museum｜"All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows"

🌟Museum Introduction: The Shanghai Liuli Art Museum is a niche private museum, established by Taiwan's Golden Horse Film Queen Yang Huishan and her director husband Zhang Yi's Liuli Workshop, mainly displaying foreign artists and Yang Huishan's Liuli artworks. 🌟Transportation: The museum is located in Huangpu District, opposite Tianzifang, turn right at Exit 1 of Metro Line 9 to Dapuqiao, the transportation is quite convenient, you can take a turn when you go to Tianzifang. 🌟Tour Route: The museum has three floors: 1️⃣The first floor is a coffee shop and a commercial area for Liuli products. 2️⃣The second floor mainly displays the Liuli products of several foreign artists, each with a different style. 3️⃣The third floor is Yang Huishan's work display area, mainly divided into two categories, one is Buddhist themes, and the other is floral themes. 🎫Tickets: The first floor is a free commercial area, the second and third floors are paid exhibition areas, the current price of the exhibition area is 60 yuan, but the online group purchase price is 54, and the on-site ticket purchase is also the group purchase price, so there is no need to group purchase in advance. 💎This museum and the Shanghai Glass Museum are two different ones. The Glass Museum mainly focuses on the production and popular science introduction of glass, so it belongs more to parent-child activities, while the Liuli Museum belongs to the display of Liuli artworks. 💎The entire exhibition hall is not large, basically one to two hours is more than enough, and because this niche museum is not very well-known and charges admission, there are not many visitors, allowing people to appreciate the exhibits more quietly, and there is also plenty of space for taking pictures, which is incomparable to public free museums. 🌟Tips: The museum building is very uniquely designed, with a large number of Liuli bricks forming the outer wall, and the outer wall is covered with layers of feathers. When the lights are turned on at night, the visual effect is amazing, and it is also very ok to come over and check in at night.

Liuli China Museum 😍✨

When I got off the taxi to visit Tianzifang, also known as the street of artists, a unique building caught my eye. Whether it's a flower petal or a bird's feather, anyway, it's a building with a heavily furred exterior, and it's called a museum. 😱 The museum is themed on glazed exhibits and has three floors, the first floor is the Liuli cafe, gift shop and simple exhibits at the first floor. The second floor is paid, only look at the first floor and pass the second floor. The glass crafts on one side of the first floor were not allowed to be photographed, and the works installed in commemoration of the year of the dog on the right were allowed to be photographed. 📸 The Museum houses and preserves the finest Liuliart collections and aspires to serve the general public and international visitors through close encounters with Liuli art works. 👍🏻❤️ #wheretogo #bestplace #bestview #awesomepic #mytripvlog #celebratewithtrip #best_trip_by_trip #bestplace #recommended #besttimeever #bestdeal #awesometrip #tripcom

Shanghai Liuli Art Museum is located near Tianzifang. The museum was formerly known as Shanghai Watch and Plastic Parts Factory. This brick building with 50 winds, frosts and rains has been reinforced and refurbished, and the appearance of a glass building is once again in front of everyone. Although the museum is small in size, it has a sense of design on both the exterior and the roof. The single exterior wall is inlaid with more than 4,800 transparent glazed tiles that resemble the rocky texture of the grotto. The unique and striking shape of the museum is refreshing, and the shape of the ducklings by the pool is very special. The museum is themed on glazed exhibits. There are three floors: the first floor is the LCM Caf and the museum gift shop for people to relax or buy glass gifts. The second floor exhibition area displays the ancient Chinese glass series, the masterpieces of the world's glass masters, and the new works of 10 modern glass artists in the international glass industry. Colorful and colorful, unique and unique. I like the bright colors and make people warm. What is glass? You can decrypt it here one by one. On the third floor is the representative of the glass artist Yang Huishan, the founder of the Liuli Workshop. Here is a glass-based glass product. Exhibitions include "Flower Good Moon", "Life is Endless", "Golden Buddha Hand Painted Glass Mirror Light", "Thousands of Thousand Eyes and Thousands of Misery" and other works. The most amazing of these is the Life-giving Guanyin statue, which took 10 years to create. This three-dimensional restoration works from the Yuan Dynasty murals of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, totaling 4.5 meters, is the only one in the museum. Works of non-glazed material.
