Lonely Planet review for Shanghai Museum

A tour de force, this museum of traditional Chinese art is the centrepiece of People’s Square, if not Shanghai, so bookmark a whole day. Top galleries include the Ceramics Gallery, Bronzes Gallery and Painting Gallery. Arrive early to avoid the queues. The Shanghai Museum also has an emporium. Items include facsimiles of the museum’s porcelain collection, and postcards and books on the Chinese arts, architecture, travel and language.

    Ancient China in Shanghai

    natekeegan recommends this,

    If you are into ancient artifacts from old China, then this is the place for you to go. There are many exhibits with some being more interesting than others. Some of the detail and intricate designs on these items, such as jade sculptures, are simply amazing. Be warned, however, that this museum can get extremely crowded and the people here don't know much about personal space.
