10 Museums in Huangpu That You Shouldn't Miss
The largest city in China is also its most cosmopolitan, offering visitors a chance to experience the past, present, and future all at once. The Huangpu River splits Shanghai into two districts: Pudong and Puxi. The Pudong skyline looks like it was ripped from the Jetsons, with the bulbous Oriental Pearl TV and Radio Tower looking a bit like a two headed lollipop. On the Puxi side, you can walk the Bund riverside district to get a taste of old Shanghai.

Booked and paid for two tickets through WeChat for the first (10:30-12:30) slot on a weekday. Got there by taxi, and walked to the nearest metro station afterwards. There were a total of 6 other people in the queue, all wearing masks. Was sent two confirmation QR code tickets. I needed to have these electronic tickets scanned at the entry desk, and exchanged for electronic entry passes on my phone. Also needed to show valid green Shanghai health codes. Backpacks and water bottles had to go in a set of lockers. You wander freely around the rooms - every corridor and room is part of the display. The animations and lighting effects are exceptionally good, and many respond directly to your presence - in particular, the butterfly room. In this one, just by standing in the room you create butterflies that spawn directly at your location, swarm across the floor and up onto the walls, then they slowly migrate through all the other rooms and displays. Signage and information about the displays is available in Chinese and English. Scents are also used in some of the rooms, and backgound music plays through all the displays and rooms. The Crystal Room (mirrors and multicolour LEDs) is particularly impressive and immersive, although it can be a little disorientating until you get used to it, and you may need to be careful with small children to prevent them walking into the LED strips. There is a pathway leading through the room - looking at the edges of the mirror tiles on the floor helped us see where we were going.
5. Shanghai Museum (Shanghai Bowuguan)
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 4,847 reviews
This elegant museum, opened in 1996, features eleven state-of-the-art galleries housing China’s international-standard exhibits of bronzes, paintings, sculpture, ceramics, jade and Ming and Qing dynasty furniture.
Reviewed By DeveanCook - Lubbock, United States
The Shanghai Museum is an expansive museum covering many collections of art from ancient Chinese history and it is both informative and impressive. The museum covers 4 floors and has 11 galleries. The galleries are all quite vast and are informative. Information cards are almost all in both English and Chinese, making it very easy for Westerners and non-Chinese speakers to understand the descriptions. A better job of this could've been done in the exhibition on currency, however, as a number of signs were in Chinese only. Just about every aspect of ancient Chinese arts are covered including calligraphy, paintings, pottery and ceramics, and sculpture. There are also exhibits covering bronze, jade, currency, and furniture. In addition to the ancient Chinese exhibits there are also exhibitions in other categories including Silk Road coins, artifacts from Oceania, and others. The sheer size of the collection means that at least 3 hours should be spent here and it is nearly impossible to cover the entire museum in one day. In all, this museum is well worth a visit in Shanghai.

I love looking at maps and models. In this place I indulged myself with various maps and, specially, the 3d map plan of Shanghai. It's a great museum to keep track of how much Shanghai has changed recently as it includes old plans and before-after photos
