Shanghai Museum

Shanghai Museum presents Chinese art and material culture through major collections of bronzes, ceramics, calligraphy, painting, sculpture, seals, coins and minority arts. It now operates important displays across People's Square and the East Museum in Pudong, so a successful visit begins by identifying the branch and galleries rather than simply navigating to 'Shanghai Museum'.

Practical notes

Advance reservation and identity checks may apply. Consult the museum's current exhibition calendar, branch address and closure notices, select a few priority galleries, and leave enough time for security instead of attempting both buildings without a plan.
