Shanghai Museum, Bronze art museum in Huangpu District, Shanghai, China
The Shanghai Museum spans 39,200 square meters across multiple floors, displaying over 120,000 pieces of ancient Chinese artifacts in eleven permanent galleries.
Founded in 1952 at the former Shanghai Racecourse club house, the museum relocated to its current building on People's Square in 1996.
The permanent collection includes ancient bronze vessels, ceramics, calligraphy, furniture, jades, coins, paintings, seals, sculptures, and minority art from Chinese dynasties.
The museum opens daily from 9:00 to 17:00, with direct access from People's Square Station on metro lines 1, 2, and 8.
The building's architectural design resembles an ancient Chinese bronze cooking vessel called ding, featuring a square base and round top.
