Things to do in Shanghai, Shanghai Region: The Best Specialty Museums

May 22, 2021 Velvet Mowry

The largest city in China is also its most cosmopolitan, offering visitors a chance to experience the past, present, and future all at once. The Huangpu River splits Shanghai into two districts: Pudong and Puxi. The Pudong skyline looks like it was ripped from the Jetsons, with the bulbous Oriental Pearl TV and Radio Tower looking a bit like a two headed lollipop. On the Puxi side, you can walk the Bund riverside district to get a taste of old Shanghai.

Shanghai Film Museum

Known as the “Hollywood in Shanghai,” it was where the renowned Chinese movie studios, including Lianhua, Diantong, Xinhua, Kunlun, Wenhua, Haiyan, and Tianma, were successively born from the 1930s. On November 16, 1949, the Shanghai Film Studio was established here, which would become one of the three largest film production centres in China. Shanghai Film Museum was opened to the public in June, 2013 on the former site of the Shanghai Film Studio. Covering a total exhibition area of 15,000 m2, the museum is a major showcase of China’s film production that features integrated functions of display and interactive visiting experience, serving the needs of archival collection, academic research and public education.

Shanghai Center of Photography (SCoP)

Founded by the internationally renowned photography artist Liu Heung Shing, the Center aims to become the first venue in Shanghai that focuses solely on photography and incorporates the functions of an art museum and an experimental art gallery. It is housed in a contemporary building boldly designed by the American architects Sharon Johnston and Mark Lee, which was a stunning masterpiece on display at the “Biennale of West Bund Architecture and Contemporary Art.”
