Museum of Contemporary Art Shanghai — Attraction in Shanghai

Complete rip off at 80 yuan. It's actually mind boggling that they would charge this amount compared to other museums. I have no problem spending money for entrance to a museum, but not for something of this quality. It's a small museum over 3 floors, with an uninspiring street art exhibition on when I went. No popular at all; there were two other people in there while I was there. The venue is pretty rundown as well. You'd be better off going to the Natural History Museum for 30 yuan, or if you'd like to see some actual world class art, go to the Powerstation of Art...

It's not the contemporary art museum (need correction). It's actually Shanghai Museum. Free admission. Plenty of ancient works- especially the Chinese painting by Tang Bo Hu. Lucky to have a very knowledgeable young volunteer giving the background explanation to fully appreciate the beauty and tho Guys ito making these incredible works. Worth visiting if you are into Chinese ancient paintings...

Loved the sculpture section on the ground floor, the ceramics was pretty good. I didn’t really get into the ethnic section and beyond learning that China had weird spade shaped coins the rest I could have missed and not noticed. Pick your visiting time carefully, the tour guide said that the queues the previous day were over an hour long, on my day no queue...
