Shanghai Museum East

Shanghai Museum East in Pudong presents ancient Chinese art through galleries devoted to bronzes, ceramics and other collections. It is a separate venue from the People's Square branch. Choose exhibitions by interest and check their actual venue and current display status rather than assuming every famous object is permanently on view here.

Hours, prices, booking rules and ID requirements can change. Confirm them with the attraction before booking or setting out.

Plan your visit

Find Shanghai Museum East on Century Avenue. Check reservation-free permanent galleries, separate exhibition rules and accepted ID before choosing your visit.

Which branch should I travel to?

The East branch is at 1952 Century Avenue in Pudong, not the People's Square branch at 201 Renmin Avenue. Check the exhibition venue before travelling. A special exhibition at People's Square is not automatically on show in Pudong, and famous collection objects are not guaranteed to be displayed on every visit.

Do I need a reservation or passport?

The museum's current website says the East branch's permanent displays do not require reservations. Special exhibitions, activities and groups need separate checks. Bring a valid passport or other accepted identification and confirm the appropriate entrance procedure; this review did not submit an actual booking. Check the website again for closure or capacity notices.

Reviewed 19 October 2026. Permanent-gallery admission is distinct from special visits; confirm current identification and entrance procedures with the museum.
