Known forartculturehistoryarchitecture
Housed in the striking former Shanghai Race Club building, this museum presents rotating exhibitions of Chinese and international fine art across beautifully restored colonial-era galleries. The architecture alone is worth the visit — grand staircases and ornate ceilings frame the collections elegantly. Exhibitions change frequently so check ahead; permanent holdings are modest compared to the temporary shows.
