Explore China’s Rich Cultural Heritage at the Shanghai Museum

#chinatrip The Shanghai Museum is a treasure trove of Chinese art and culture, offering an extensive collection that spans thousands of years. Located in the heart of the city, the museum houses over 120,000 precious artifacts, including ancient ceramics, bronzes, sculptures, calligraphy, and paintings. The building itself, designed to resemble a traditional Chinese ding (bronze vessel), is a masterpiece of modern architecture. Each gallery provides a window into different aspects of China’s vast history, from the majestic dynasties to the daily life of ancient people. For history buffs and art lovers, the Shanghai Museum is a must-visit destination that offers an unparalleled opportunity to explore the richness and diversity of Chinese culture.

#discoverchina One can never visit Shanghai without visiting the iconic Shanghai Museum. If one were to do so, it’s like a man missing the opportunity to get culturally educated and inspired and it is one of the best curated museums in Shanghai. As it was their local school holiday on the date of our visit, the entrance was extremely crowded with long queues of visitors. It could be the tight security screening at the entrance that hindered the queue from shortening quickly. We spent at least half an hour to queue in order to enter the museum. Inside the museum, there were different levels catering to different types of artifacts and history to be shared. During my visit the 1st floor of the museum has been occupied by a big Egyptian special exhibit (which charges a quite high entrance fee, and doesn’t seem to warrant a visit), the content of the 3rd floor of the museum has been moved out to the Shanghai Museum East Building. The available exhibits are Marco Polo special exhibit (on the 2nd floor), and the All things glittering exhibit, the Ming-Qing Furniture exhibit, and the Chinese Minority Nationality Art exhibit on the 4th floor. The entire exhibit can be visited in about a hour.
