Shanghai Art Museum, Municipal art museum on Nanjing Road, Shanghai, China
The museum occupies a historic English-style building from 1933 with a bell tower, featuring 12 exhibition halls across 6000 square kilometers of space.
Established in 1956 as a branch of the Chinese Artists Association, the museum moved to its current location in 1986 after substantial reconstruction work.
The museum collection contains over 8000 artworks spanning from Qing Dynasty to contemporary times, including works by Xu Gu, Ren Bonian, and Wu Changshuo.
Located near People's Square, visitors can access the museum through multiple bus routes and metro lines, with operating hours from 09:00 to 17:00.
The neoclassical building originally served as a horse racing club before its transformation into an art institution with modern exhibition facilities.
