Shanghai museum

Shanghai is a museum junkies dream.  The city is packed with museums and exhibits sure to spark a wide array of interests.  The People’s Square is a good place to begin as the Shanghai Museum, Art Museum, and Urban Planning Exhibition are all here.

I started with the Shanghai Museum.  If you’re out to see some of the best examples of ancient Chinese art this is a wonderful collection housed in an impressive new building.

 

 

Having visited the Tokyo National Museum and Korean National Museum in the past six months, I was a little bored.  I can’t tell the good stuff from the bad, so it’s all just porcelin and calligraphy to me.  What I was looking for was some info about Shanghai’s history, so it was off across the river to the basement of the Pearl Tower, the site of the Shanghai Municipal History Museum.
