By far my favourite gallery/museum in SH! Regardless of the exhibitions, totally worth the visit...love this space!
The 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!
My favorite of all the M50 galleries! Their media installations are fun. interesting and often interactive. On my visit, I had to point with a flashlight on an installation to activate it. :)
4 architecture enthusiasts out there, check out this stunning piece of artistic creation. It blends traditional Chinese & modern elements perfectly. 1 of few buildings still in use at the site today.
The pin dropped in the map is inaccurate. You need to be on wending road and drive pass Yu de road (opposite Dadi building)
Great area to spend a free evening. Walk around shops, cafés and restaurants.
