Shikumen Museum

Shikumen Museum, Heritage museum in Xintiandi, Shanghai, China.

The Shikumen Museum occupies a shikumen stone-gate house built in the 1920s on Xingye Road, on the south side of Xintiandi's North Block in Huangpu District. About five rooms are furnished as a Shanghai home of the 1920s and 1930s, and one of them is a tingzijian, the small triangular room sometimes rented cheaply to poor writers.

The house was built in the 1920s as a shikumen-style stone-gate residence. It was later converted into a museum presenting Shanghai domestic life of the 1920s and 1930s, and now forms part of the Xintiandi area in Huangpu District.

The displays show furniture and everyday items that reveal how middle-class families lived and organized their homes during early 20th-century Shanghai. These objects offer insight into the daily routines and domestic arrangements of the era.

The museum sits on the south side of Xintiandi's North Block on Xingye Road, in Huangpu District. The nearest Metro stops are South Huangpi Road on Line 1 to the north and Xintiandi on Line 10 to the south. Allow time for about five furnished rooms.

The museum displays a tingzijian, a small triangular room that once served as affordable housing for writers and intellectuals in Shanghai. This unusual space shows how residents made creative use of limited room configurations.
