新竹玻璃艺术博物馆

在地者

新竹长久以来就是台湾玻璃产业的重镇，两年一次的新竹市国际玻璃艺术节更是盛名于世界玻璃艺术界的知名展示处所，于是国人慢慢地愈来愈注意到这项玻璃艺术大展，参观的人数也年年陆续增加。近来有许多本地学生，会选择参加学习玻璃制作课程，平时某些假日还会举办玻璃示范表演呢！玻璃艺术节之外，平时也适合来游览，进入馆区先要经过一个标致的小桥，已就是玻璃视觉上的惊奇。只是博物馆本身内部的空间并非你想像的大，但这正是新竹小而美的朴实印象。还好，就在邻邉有个漂亮景色的新竹公园，下午四、五点在池边树下喝咖啡，这绝对是朴素小城市中的豪华享受。余兴之际，如果时间充裕也可以到隔邻知名的新竹动物园再逛逛。一个单一新竹玻璃艺术博物馆景点，还包含了新竹公园、新竹动物园在旁边，最好准备2-3小时在这里度过美妙的半天时光吧！

新竹，一看火车站就令人惊艳，而玻璃艺术博物馆，更彰显了新竹除科技之盛名外，更有着文化的内涵。这次适逢年度国际玻璃艺术节，虽分为七个场馆，但规模并不算太大，然而展品十分精美具相当可看性，玻璃工坊更有师傅现场操作，增加更多的教育性和趣味性。

因为与喜爱艺术的朋友一起造访，门票很便宜但很值回票价，外观就已经很吸引游客参观，推荐给喜爱艺术人文的朋友，参观前可以上网查询该时段展出的作品。

I went here with a group of Chinese speaking friends because my guide book said that it is a sight of interest but very limited English information. However I think the museum has been updated greatly since my guidebook was published. All information was available in Chinese and English, very informative and beautiful artworks!

This is a great place to take a family for a day out. There are plenty of activities for the kids to get involved in and for out of Hsinchu visitors, it presents a good idea of the glass making industry in Hsinchu and a bit of an understanding of the layout of the city (there it a giant 3D map).There isn't really a lot to see here for adults without kids, and you could do the whole museum in under 90 minutes in that situation.

You could take your kids there for a whole day by buying the package tickets in a very reasonable price, especially when you are Hsinchu citizen with a Hsinchu citizen card. Cultural glass ware are pretty attractive and kids could practice how ancient beauties are.

Small Museum but fun to see the beautiful glass artwork with a dash of history. The artifacts are updated quite regularly and gives an insight into evolution of Hsinchu as center of glass manufacturing to a semiconductor tech hub.

This museum used to be the residence of Japanese Governor when Taiwan was still its colony. It is well-kept until today and the Japanese style structural detail is worth taking a good look at, too. Inside, there are creative arts of glass on display. The craftsmanship is amazing. Not only art exhilbition, there is also an area explaining the process how glass is made. Very informative. Outside, there is a square whose floor is made of wood board along with a stylish pool in which carp swimming around. Kind of Chinese. Visiting this museum, I could appreciate the atmosphere of delicate cultural combination and leisurely spend an afternoon wandering.

As an exchange student in Hsinchu Taiwan, I have heard alot about the Glass Museum and one afternoon my roommate and I took the trip.The entry fee into the museum is NT 10 for student and 20 NT for other visitors. There are alot master pieces of glass works, which worth the trip. There are also DIY works available on some saturday afternoon around 14:00-16:00 which they called family day and days with appontment. For such activity please call or visit the website for the exact date available. The fee is NT 150 for the cost of material and instructed by a professonal craftman. \BTW, it is prohibited to take photos in the museum.At the back of the Glass museum, there is a glass store when you can buy glass SOUVENRSSSS and is a place here you can have your afternoon tea, it is peaceful and relaxing!!

My husband and I went here on a Saturday afternoon during the International Glass Art Festival and the place was abuzz. There was lots to do and aside from seeing the museum, you could check out glass artists live and some of the kids had the chance to try glass blowing themselves. I have a hunch that these "extras" are only on because of the time of year. The museum itself was not huge, but still had some great pieces on display and I'm glad that we went. If you're looking for something to do in Hsin-Chu, check this out for sure. Note: photography is not permitted in the museum.

The Hsinchu Glass Museum entrance has received a bit of a face lift due to its international exhibition series. The pavilions have winning and runner up glass art on display as well as some contemporary media art.The Glass Master demonstration is still a great way to spend an hour of your afternoon as you see the master himself create a work of glass art. Blowing, rolling, coloring, firing, (repeat) etc. As a viewer, it's not often you get to see an artist at work. Glass art especially is a delicate balance between the artist's intended outcome and what physics provides.The handicraft huts are actually converted Japanese houses and they display some really affordable to really expensive glass art and wares. I don't know if it was a temporary special, but the cafe at the rear of one of the huts gives you a free glass mug when you order a coffee (60nt +). I thought it was a great deal.Bring a camera as there are many photo ops. There is something for the whole family as there is a children's facility with interactive games and displays. Entrace is 150 - 200 for all the facilities and the adjacent Hsinchu Zoo.

Hsinchu is not really a vacation travel destination. I went on a business trip, accompanying my husband. The glass museum and zoo are right next to each other, so I made a morning of it.Entrance was very inexpensive, under $1 US. Volunteers greeted me at the door and were eager to try out their English. While appreciative, since I have no Mandarin, it was a smile and nod moment. You might spend 30 to 60 minutes wandering through the exhibits, much less with kids - not a hands-on type of museum. There was a room with a featured artist's work, a glass jail, a room about the history of the building (which looks like something to skip, but was one of the most interesting parts to me), an area about the history of glass products, one about how glass art is created, and on that seemed to relate to Taiwan's glass industry. As I said, I'm glad I did the glass museum/zoo trip to add a little culture to what was otherwise mostly shopping and people watching. The museum is certainly a low-budget affair. Some parts were off the mark (I'm thinking the neon and the zodiac displays), but that was part of the charm for me and I enjoyed my visit.
