The attractive Jing'an Sculpture Park (静安雕塑公园, Jìng'ān Diāosù Gōngyuán) contains a mix of permanent and temporary pieces created by mainly international artists. The sculptures are carefully scattered, making it a wonderful place to stroll and browse the abstract, thought-provoking works, dabbled with absurdity and humor. You'll find everything from red metal trees and metal cows grazing on the grass to a pyramid of cellos and ostriches with their heads buried in the ground. Scan the WeChat QR codes on the signs in front of the sculptures for more info about each piece. In spring, folks come from far and wide to see the blossoming cherry trees to the west of the park. The impressive Shanghai Natural History Museum is also located here.
