What to do and see in Xuhui, Shanghai Region: The Best Art Museums
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.

Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 77 reviews
A private art gallery founded by the Chinese art collector Liu Yiqian and his wife, Wang Wei, the Long Museum (West Bund) is currently one of the most influential of its kind in China. Located at the former site of Beipiao Wharf, the museum features its main building shaped in a “coal funnel” highlighting its architectural characteristics of the industrial civilization legacy, forming a remarkably artistic public space of contemporary urban culture and arts.

This is an excellent museum offering contemporary art as well as traditional. Privately owned and famed for their purchase of a chicken soup cup for over USD30mln the Long Musuem is ideally located on West Bund. Time here is a real pleasure, from the curatorial excellence to the location right next to the river that has a beautiful walkway to meander along. Long Museum is bringing sensational art from around the world to China; as well as showcasing brilliant local art. Any trip to Shanghai should include a trip to this excellent museum.

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.”

One of the best small photography Museum in China. Professionally presented works. We saw Martin’s work there and thought it was great.
5. Yuz Museum
Overall Ratings

Founded by the Chinese-Indonesian entrepreneur Mr. Budi Tek in a hangar of the former aircraft manufacturing facility covering a total floor area of about 9,500 square meters, the Yuz Museum features a very spacious and extending layout that perfectly serves the display of Mr. Tek’s collection containing mostly installation works.

I really enjoyed my visit here. The building is well-designed and gives space to several (big and small) expositions. The café has good coffee and nasi goreng. And if you like museums, just a few hundred meters from this museum is the Shanghai Centre of Photography with a good collection, and behind it starts a street full of art galleries. It's also a nice walk along the river after your visit.
