Known forartPudongfreeChinese art
Repurposed from the China Pavilion of Expo 2010, this is one of Asia's largest art museums, housing an enormous permanent collection of modern Chinese art including the celebrated animated version of Along the River During the Qingming Festival. The sheer scale can be overwhelming — focus on the upper floors for the strongest works. Free but requires ID registration at the entrance; allow at least two to three hours.
