The
Shanghai
Museum
is
a
large
museum
of
ancient
Chinese
art.
The
museum
was
first
established
in
1952,
and
in
1992
it
acquired
a
new
site
on
the
downtown People's
Square. The
magnificent new Shanghai Museum was open in its entirety to public visitors in 1996, with eleven
galleries and three exhibition halls in a space of over 10,000 square meters. With
bronze ware,
ceramics, and painting and calligraphy as its distinctive collections, the Shanghai Museum boasts
120,000 pieces of rare and precious cultural relics in twenty-one categories, including bronze ware,
ceramics, calligraphy, paintings, sculpture, furniture, jade and ivory carvings, bamboo and wood
carvings, lacquer ware, oracle bones, seals, coins, and handicrafts of ethnic art.

The new site of the Shanghai Museum has a construction space of 38,000 square meters with
two floors underground and five floors above the ground with a height of 29.5 meters. This grand
new
building,
structured
with
a
square
base
and
a
circular
top
with
four
arch-shaped
handles
erected on it, symbolizes the perfect fusion of China's traditional culture and the spirit of modern
times. When viewed from above, the circular top with a glass dome in the center looks like a huge
bronze mirror of the Han Dynasty. When viewed at a distance, the whole building resembles an
ancient bronze ding tripod, shouldering in silence the heavy weight of the five-thousand-
year Chinese history and civilization.

The southern entrance of the Shanghai Museum is flanked by eight dignified mighty animals
in white-marble sculpture, each with a height of close to three meters and a weight of about twenty
tons. These eight sculptures were modeled and magnified after the prototypes carefully selected
from over 300 stone and bronze sculpture relics of the Han, Northern and Southern, Sui and Tang
Dynasties
collected
in
the
museum.
The
museum's
perfect
combination
of
traditional
culture
and
modern
architectural
style
is
also
fully
captured
by
the
interior
decoration
of
the
museum. For example, the hall's banisters are designed with interlocked dragon patterns; the even
