A really detailed history of Shanghai, how it developed and evolved over time, including the uprisings and unsettled periods with lots of artefacts, machines, paintings, all really well done but there is a lot of reading and you would need to spend a very long time here to get through it all. There is a roof top garden with a bar / cafe and the cafe outside of the museum serves really good coffee.

The museum comprises the first floor of the oriental pearl tower and uses a combination of models and projected images to provide glimpses into street scenes and domestic life of Shanghai's past. I found it engaging. Surprisingly it is free with no crowds and one Shanghai resident I spoke to didn't even know it existed.

This is not a history museum, there are no artifacts here. It is actually a wax museum depicting the old shanghai and its glory of the old days. A fashionable and forward city even in 1920s. Worth a look if u have the time. This wax museum is not a building by its own. It is INSIDE the DONG FANG MING CHU tower at the basement. Entrance is free as part of the tower tix and tour.

Entry to this place is via purchase of ticket to the Oriental tower. You absolutely need to buy tickets in advance for this. The place is hard to navigate with multiple entrances and exits. Even finding the ticket office is hard. Nonetheless, I did not enter the museum nor ascend up Oriental tower. The overall experience is a turn off.

I am quite impressed with the museum size. I thought it would be a quick overview of the Shanghai but it has some interesting insights of the city in the past, present and future. Maybe more English descriptions for non-Chinese speakers
