in a sort of new year resolution, we decided to make an effort to visit a “touristy” destination in shanghai every week or so, to get to know the city a bit better.
this week we went to the shanghai museum. you can learn about all sorts of art-related aspects of chinese culture in there, and there’s enough of it to keep you entertained for hours – a clear overdose of information to our jetlagged minds. anyway, here are some pictures:
all in all, this would have been better if we were less tired – or had a special interest in any sort of ancient art.
still, there are some lovely pieces in there, and the entrance is free, so if you fancy stuff like calligraphy, chinese paintings, currency, bronze works, sculpture, ceramics, chinese furniture, jade carving, etc. give it a go!

Boas fotos… está uma exposição no MOCA até meio de Fevereiro que é capaz de ser interessante.
Quanto ao Shanghai museum, pois, do que gostei mais foi da caligrafia e de algumas cerâmicas (as “glazed”), mas não é “aquela coisa”.
Lovely clear photos there Ana, welcome back and a good choice of new year’s resolution!
I would surely spend hours and hours drooling just by looking at those objects… I really fancy that. Loved your pictures. Really nice. Good job!
Boas fotos. Abraços aos dois
