Wonderfully interesting and well displayed museum. Enjoyed it immensely. we would encourage travelers to visit this great institution .

World class museum, a delight to walk around. One of the best museums I have been. The way they have displayed the exhibits make the whole museum interesting and we were very impressed by the quality, of this new building.

You will need two or three hours to begin to do justice to this well-organized museum. Each type of exhibit has an easy-to-navigate space and there is an audio guide in English.

This is such a fantastic musuem. We went twice on my last visit, and I have been to see it every time I am in Shanghai. It is wise to perhaps choose a few sections to view in depth, rather than trying to take in everything. The changing exhibits are also excellent and they seem to often have a Japanese... More

The facade of the building itself is fascinating and the queue to get the tickets was ok because we were there before 11am. Rmb 60 for the tour of all the areas but there's a little extra to pay for watching 3d or 4d movies. The museum was a feast to the eyes because there was so much to see... More
