Audrey G. • October 14, 2016The nuseum itself is beautiful. Always has great exhibits going on. Just make sure to check their working hours. On a nice day, you can walk along the boardwalk right behind the museum as well!

Alex D. • August 7, 2015The public art museum gone lo-fi. Definitely check that they have 3-4 exhibitions running when you go to make it worth your while.

Tony P. • January 5, 2014Do you know how to distinguish Yuan, Ming, and Qing porcelain apart? Find out here and many more art history in Aurora Museum. One of the quietest places in Shanghai with a lot of historical art.

Dave M. • August 22, 2018A good place to get out of heat for a while if you find yourself in Xujiahui on a hot summer’s day. More interesting than you’d think. Have dinner at Ye Olde Station restaurant after!

Go Find Alice • November 22, 2016Beautiful worldly exhibitions from around the world

Dave M. • November 29, 2020Trendy refurbished historical area like XinTianDi. I heard it was the foreign club area back in the 1920’s. Cool combination of historical and modern architecture.

Jason • April 3, 2017The art museum is renovated from a coal dock

Jen F. • March 3, 2015Really unique "museum" of propaganda art. No photos technically allowed. They also sell rare original prints.

Dave M. • April 22, 2018Very well done. Symbiotic relationship of local artists getting a place to show their work, and the Café gets a steady stream of patrons for high-end Coffee and snacks.

William K. • March 27, 2016Very obscurely located and you may miss it. Not huge but if the exhibition is right who needs a large hall.

Mega O. • April 16, 2014Has good exhibitions of European art sometimes. Newly opened in March 2014. A busy, but original shopping mall is part of the space, plus a learn to cook lab with glass walls!
