Located in the old city of Shanghai, the building is very old, in addition to the main building in the courtyard, there are two museums in the surrounding building.
The Old Relief Center has an artistic courtyard and archaeological museum, the Museum of African Art, Oceans and American Indian Art. It has a remarkable collection of masks from the Americas, Africa and the Pacific.
