West Bund Museum, Art museum in Xuhui District, Shanghai, China
West Bund Museum is an art museum on Shanghai's waterfront that displays modern artworks across three gallery spaces within a contemporary building. The structure uses its riverside location as a core design element, with open spaces that connect the interior to the surrounding landscape.
The museum opened in 2019, marking a new milestone in Shanghai's development as an international art center. It emerged as part of the West Bund district's transformation, which integrated art and culture into the city's urban fabric.
The museum presents works by both Chinese and international artists, creating artistic exchanges between eastern and western perspectives. Visitors experience different artistic traditions and approaches displayed together in the same spaces.
The museum sits along the riverfront and is accessible by local transportation. Visitors should allow time to explore all three gallery spaces and check ahead for current exhibition schedules.
The grounds feature outdoor art installations that visitors encounter while walking around the site. These pieces create a connection between the museum building and the surrounding public space.
