What travellers are saying
- Doug CShenzhen, China291 contributionsFirst off, the place is difficult to find. Go to 726 builidng，and enter the entrance under the arch thing between the two banks. Turn right, and take the elevator to the 7th floor.
The museum is quite small, but we'll stocked. There are a couple of hundred posters perhaps to look at.
But, if you are a history nerd like myself, the gift shop is the star of the show. Original posters from the 60s... Original copies of the little red book in various languages, busts of Mao, old maps, old textbooks, old magazines... This place is a treasure trove, and will satisfy history buffs from a tiny budget of ¥150 for three copies of posters, to over ¥6k for rare originals, and everything in between.Written 3 October 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - TheMoment - 那一瞬間San Francisco, CA473 contributionsWhen in Shanghai, this building is a must see. The outside wall will move and it is spectacular view.

- David ROakland, CA123 contributionsThe Long Museums are confusing as there are TWO, one on Pudong side and the other on the old Bund side of Shanghai, labelled “Xi’an”.
There are world class special exhibitions and a very good, well-curated exhibition on Chinese realist art. The labeling has some English translation but help from a Chinese speaker is useful.
But good heavens it expensive by Chinese standards — compared to typical admission fees of 40 CNY, Long Museum is 250 CNY more than $40 per person.Written 8 January 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Christopher BPune, India1,145 contributionsThe Museum Of O just replaced the Louvre and the Picasso Museums in Paris! Shanghai, “You’ve Arrived!”
Well, almost! The M of O is raising our hopes for Shanghai becoming the “Paris of the East,” next year, and soon Paris will be known as “ The Shanghai of the West!”Written 23 March 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - ReslimpanProvidence, RI2,752 contributionsIsland6 is a collective artist run space located in M50 art district. It is a multi-cultural, multinational and multi-disciplinary group of artist making great, fun, provocative smartly done multimedia art with a focus on Asia. If you come to visit M50, this place is a must see.Written 11 August 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- IvO13 contributionsOf the many fantastic galleries in M50, I was specifically touched by LWH Gallery. The art there was outstanding. Several pieces kept my glance for a very long time, most of all the work of Chatchawan Rodklongtan. The way the owner (I guess he was the owner?) of the gallery told us the story behind the artwork was also inspiring. He really took his time for all our questions and didn't mind that I just kept staring at the artwork. Thanks you very much for introducing me to your world of art.Written 15 May 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Chris PShanghai, China4,924 contributionsWent here for a specific exhibition and was amazed by the space available and the set up - even a pop-up Starbucks inside. Note the the “Tanks” are close by, as well as a shopping Centre with good food, close byWritten 8 December 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- natchou35Singapore, Singapore50 contributionsVery nice trip. It Takes about an hour to go and 2 hours to see the village/paintings. Not a lot of shops but very nice paintings, affordable prices. Nice atmosphere. The village is very small.Written 1 April 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Kristine K105 contributionsA nice location set-up perfectly for visitors and for artists. Clean, simple, and easy to navigate. Lovely book store on the 2nd floor. Interesting saltwater fish tank,. Several types of art to choose from. Framing options galore. The other building has "things" and is worth a walk thru. There is a gallery on site. Plenty of places to eat across the street. A nice afternoon "thing to do". Your length of time will depend on how many shops are open.Written 3 November 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- natchou35Singapore, Singapore50 contributionsVery nice half day to see the painter village, 1 hour far from Shanghai(entrance fee). Farmers families selling their paintings (good price for hand paintings). Most of the time representing the country side way of life.Written 29 April 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- CreativeSparkSingapore, Singapore250 contributionsThere was no permanent collection on display here, so your experience will depend on what is showing. I enjoyed the photography of Karen Knorr and Anna Fox (Another Way of Telling) and that made it thoroughly worth the trip.
But the Center is tiny, so you may find RMB40 overpriced for two small rooms of photos. It will probably take you less than 30 minutes to view everything even if you are moving slowly. There is a library room, and I found a book of photos by Shanghai photographer Maleonn that absorbed me for quite a while, so I spent about an hour here.
The Center is in an interesting area. It's another of Shanghai's "creative zones", housing creative businesses. It was quiet when I was there and the main building in the zone was not hosting any exhibition. West Bund Bistro 2555, nearby, makes good coffee and has wifi.Written 25 October 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Culture VultureSeattle, WA69 contributionsGood place to cutting edge trees in Chinese contemporary art . There were great about helping us with a map marked with other galleries. Very relaxing visit.. Trending chi its.

- Sarah Cheers1 contributionJe Fine Art Gallery has an exceptional reputation for bringing the work of well-known artists from all over the world to Shanghai - the current exhibition running until January 27, 2019, provides a rare and profound opportunity to witness Picasso’s inner thinking and sense his state of unrest at the time of producing sketches for his final and very famous painting - Guernica.These stunning lithographs have been produced with authorization by Museo del Prado in 1990.“The nature of creation exhibition” will not disappoint and shall provide both the art connoisseur and novice alike.Written 1 December 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- 801Kenny11 contributionsExcellent show. We spent half day over the nice and quiet place. There are a few contemporary museums around and worth spending a whole afternoon. That area is newly developed and is quite a walking distance from the subway. Grabing a cab back would be a problem without the proper app. Of course you can ask for help to hail a cab from the locals.Written 8 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
