The Shanghai Museum sits on the southern side of Renmin Square and is another of Shanghai’s architectural masterpieces. Designed by one of Shanghai’s leading architects, Xing Tonghe, and completed in 1996, the shape of this US$50 million
structure is based on a traditional bronze vessel.
With four floors and over 120,000 exhibits, the museum houses some of the finest artifacts in China, meaning you’ll need plenty of time to explore. Bronzes are the museum’s pride and joy, but there are also exquisite examples of ancient calligraphy, ceramics, sculpture, jade, coins, furniture and minority handicrafts on show.
It’s well laid-out and all the exhibits are clearly labeled in English, but if you require more information there are audio guides available (¥40 plus ¥400 or your passport as deposit). The museum also has three temporary exhibition halls, a tearoom and an excellent bookshop and provides free bag storage if you want to take the weight off your shoulders.
