Shanghai Museum

Located at People's Square, the Shanghai Museum is hosting an Egyptian exhibition as of June 2025, which has become extremely popular. It is so crowded that it feels busier than Egypt itself 🇪🇬. Reservations are required on weekends, and tickets can be purchased through Trip.com. Foreign visitors can link their passport number to the ticket and simply present their passport for entry. The Shanghai Museum (Shanghai Museum/上海博物馆) is a comprehensive museum specializing in ancient Chinese art, situated in People's Square, Shanghai, China. In 1996, the museum's new building, designed in the shape of a "ding" (an ancient Chinese vessel) combining circular and square elements, was completed. The design has been praised for its scientific and artistic exhibition spaces.
