The
Shanghai Museum
|
|
|
The Shanghai Museum, which formally opened in October 1996,
features some of the best museum galleries and displays
in the Chinese world. Its collection of ancient bronzes
is considered to be one of the best in the world. The building
itself, on the edge of People's Square in the city centre,
is shaped like a giant bronze urn. But the museum director,
the world's leading Chinese bronze expert, says this is
a coincidence, and swears the design is based upon the ancient
Chinese concept of the universe - that the sky is round
and the earth is flat.
Address: People's Square.
Admission: Yn20, Opening hours: 9:00 - 17:00
