On a rainy afternoon, I took refuge in the Shanghai Museum for a few hours. It offers a look into Chinese cultural heritage, making it an ideal destination if you want to learn more. With free admission to its main exhibitions, it’s definitely worthwhile stopping by. Although many of the descriptions are in Chinese, the beauty and historical significance of the various collections can easily appreciated by all visitors - no matter the language spoken!
I visited this museum on the public holiday and it’s full of people, they closed most of floors and galeries, only 4th and ground floor opened. The highlight is collection of Qipao costume which is nice. Visitor should exit behind gate that forward to the fountain, I was lucky that the fountain turn on plays musical for 15 mins
The Shanghai Museum has two buildings: one at People's Square and a newer, larger one called Shanghai Museum East. Admission is free at both, but the reservation process and operating hours differ. People's Square location This is the original building, famous for its unique round-top, square-base architecture that symbolizes the ancient Chinese perception of the world. Located at 201 Renmin Avenue, Huangpu District. Operating hours: 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., closed on Mondays. Admission: Free, but you must reserve a ticket in advance. Highlights: Collections of ancient Chinese art, including bronzes, ceramics, calligraphy, furniture, jades, seals, and paintings. It also features special international exhibitions.
Great place! It was open for all of the week holiday, and contains marvelous artifacts from myriad periods. Strongly recommend going on a weekday, but know they aren't normally open on Mondays. Bring your passport number if you're a foreigner.
That's wonderful that most museums are free in China! Especially when everything so good organized and looks wonderful. Specially liked light effects in the painting room: you are coming closer to the canvas and the light becomes brighter!
