Lonely Planet review for Shanghai Art Museum
Venue of the Shanghai Biennale, this museum is located within the former British racecourse club building next to People’s Park. Refreshingly cool in summer, the interior galleries are suited to appreciating art, displayed in well-illuminated alcoves and a voluminous sense of space. It’s also worth noting the ceiling details and other period features, including the horse-head design on the balustrades and the art deco chandeliers, original to the 1933 building. Unfortunately, the quality of the exhibitions is inconsistent. English captions are sporadic at best.
