After you are picked up from your hotel in a private vehicle, your guide will take you to the Shanghai Museum, located in the heart of Shanghai at People’s Square. The unique urn-shaped building is one of the most impressive pieces of new architecture in Shanghai. The museum houses a collection of more than 120,000 pieces of some of China’s most valuable cultural relics and artifacts, including bronze, sculpture, ceramics, painting, calligraphy, seals, furniture and minority art.
The Shanghai Museum is one of the best museums in China, with 11 state-of-the-art galleries and three special exhibition halls. Its collection of bronze, ceramics, painting and calligraphy is unparalleled. Your guide will provide insight into the museum’s highlights, such as a “transparent” bronze mirror from the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD), intricately painted ceramic pieces from the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 AD) and the development of the Chinese character system, dating back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD).
