Well curated museum showcasing Shanghai's history and evolution over time...
It was a great replica of living and development of Shanghai as a city. Enjoyed it throughly. However pls take down one of the photos posted by Timothy Pang and Jamie Higgd that is not accurate the building as it is not the museum MAYBE UNINTENTIONALLY. The museum is housed at the bottom of the Pearl Tower TV station.
A really detailed history of Shanghai, how it developed and evolved over time, including the uprisings and unsettled periods with lots of artefacts, machines, paintings, all really well done but there is a lot of reading and you would need to spend a very long time here to get through it all. There is a roof top garden with a bar / cafe and the cafe outside of the museum serves really good coffee.
Huge crowd but the queue was fast.
