Shanghai Museum

As well-known as the Museum of Ancient Chinese Art, the Shanghai Museum was established in 1952 and relocated twice before finding a permanent home at its present location, south of the centrally located People's Plaza, in 1996. More than 120,000 precious and rare works of art in 21 categories make the Shanghai Museum the most remarkable cultural institution in the city.

The Shanghai Museum is a four-storey building that occupies a total area of 39,200 square meters. The museum's unique architectural style - with a round roof and square base - combines China's traditional culture and modern spirit, giving visitors a complete and pleasant visual surprise upon first sight. Architecturally, the structure is among the world's greatest museum buildings.
