Not only is the French villa exquisite, the exhibits and artisans at work make it worth searching out this oasis. Examples of nearly all of the crafts are available for sale, too, though some - like the $25,000 carved jade bowl - may be beyond the average tourist's budget. If you aren't too laden with purchases, continue on to Fuxing... More

The historic 1909 house in which the museum is located is an attraction itself, and so are the displays of carvings, porcelains, textiles, and other crafts. The ivory and wood carvings are exquisite (not antique; most are from the middle or late twentieth century), the small costume collection from the world of Chinese opera is enthralling. We did find that... More

This was such an amazing place. Thousands of years of art forms. You can take your own photos, but I suggest you will get more enjoyment if you just buy a book. There are 5 floors of displays each marked, i.e. ceramics, costumes, drawings, etc..

The building that houses all these arts and crafts is just fantastic.. great french-style elevation.. a 4 foot long ivory craft welcomes at the entrance.. We can see lots of such ivory works, basement has paper cutting art, handmade bags, hand printed t-shirts and scarfs and many more handicraft work.. quite exquisite.. and you can buy them too.. reasonable price.....

It's a little out of the way but if you are in the area and have a free hour or so you should definitely check this out. I got... More

You can watch artisans at work and see and buy some of their wonderful products - paintings, jade carvings, tapestries, silk embroidery etc. The Museum itself is set in a beautiful house and grounds, with original features, so if you like French style architecture you will find this of interest. Set over three... More

Nice museum. Watch crafts made, and buy something if it interests you. An interesting and inexpensive 90 minutes.

This was a wonderful museum had lots of exhibits and the staff helpful thou I felt we spend to much time here if you enjoy Asian art and esp furniture you will love this museum

I stopped by here almost as an afterthought during my day in the French Concession and was glad I did. The museum is a bit off the beaten path, located south of Fuxing Road. Admission was reasonable, I think maybe just 10Y. The museum is located in an impressive three-story French Renaissance mansion built in 1905. The collections encompass three... More
