Great museum. I gave only 4 stats, just because it is very hard to reserve entrance ticket for weekend. The ticket is free, but you need to reserve it via museum website. You will need Chinese telephone number for that. They open slots in week before, but all slots for Saturday and Sunday are immediately reserved. I visited this museum twice. My second visit was not so successful: only several halls were open, others were closed for renewing. Very often there is a special exposition on the ground floor, and it could be not free.

A treasure box of history with a very nice garden outside with parking space. Museum personnel outside were very patient and helpful to everybody. Very clean toilets. Very interesting Museum Shop.

It captures the shanghai story in the 1900。some of the artifacts are colorful。other stories relate to the rise of the communist party。the building is huge and provides some quiet time one to think about our past,terrible effects of war。FREE entry

This museum is the largest we have visited in Shanghai so far. We spent a whole day there. It has four stories, with entire wings dedicated to chinese bronze, jade, calligraphy, money, ceramics, furniture and Chinese paintings.
The most fun part is its gift shop. It has replicas of the exhibits available to purchase (vases, beautiful tea cups, paintings, even bronze containers) if you can afford it.

Its vast collection of artifacts, including ancient ceramics, calligraphy, and exquisite artworks, offers a captivating glimpse into China's rich history. The museum's modern architecture and well-curated exhibits make it a must-visit destination for art and history enthusiasts. A journey through time and culture.
