The former Shanghai Art Museum moved to this new Pudong location in 2012. Originally, the museums was housed inside a former race club and also hosted the well-regarded Shanghai Biennale (which is now held in the Power Station of Art). The spectacular setting, housed in the former China Pavilion of the 2010 Expo, is matched by the incredible collection focused on Chinese modern art and special exhibitions. The largest museum in Asia, it was conceived to be the country’s answer to New York’s MET and Paris’ Musée d’Orsay. It’s not to be missed as a demonstration of China’s every-growing, strong art scene. Admission is free but you have to reserve your ticket in advance online.
