It is very hard not
to notice the unique design of the Shanghai
Museum in Shanghai since this tourist attraction
is built in the shape of an ancient Chinese ding
vessel in 1994 at a cost of 570 million yuan.
Located at the People's Square at 201 Renmin Dadao,
this comprehensive art museum houses 123,000
cultural relics and features bronze ware, calligraphy,
ceramics, Chinese paintings, coins, jade, Ming and
Qing furniture and seals. Some of the more popular
galleries include the archaic green patina of
the Ancient Chinese Bronze Gallery, the Chinese
Sculpture Gallery, Zande Lou Gallery and the
Chinese Calligraphy Gallery. This museum in
Shanghai is definitely a must visit place for all
tourists as it will slowly take you through the
pages of Chinese history.
Opening times:
9.00am to 5.00pm
Admission: 20 yuan.
