West Bund Art & Design District
7.8Locals Score / 10#4 of 9 Attractions in Shanghai
A regenerated industrial waterfront stretching south along the Huangpu River that has become Shanghai's most serious contemporary art corridor, home to Long Museum West Bund, Tank Shanghai, and the Yuz Museum among others. The outdoor sculpture installations along the riverside path are free to enjoy, while the museums charge separately and rotate genuinely ambitious international exhibitions. This is where Shanghai's art world actually congregates — openings here draw the city's creative class rather than tour groups. Check individual museum schedules before visiting as some have specific opening days and temporary closures between exhibitions.
