The Shanghai Art Museum was located in the city on Nanjing Road, which was an old 1933 clubhouse for the racehorse set, but in October 2012 the contemporary art museum moved into the Chinese pavilion from the 2010 Expo and was renamed the “China Art Museum, Shanghai“.

M50 is one of Shanghai’s best creative communities in the Putuo District, which houses a thriving cluster of artists, whose studios are open to the public with off the beaten path galleries. The venue of open studios and apartments provide a great way to view the avant-garde work of contemporary artist. You feel as if you are in the “SoHo” of Shanghai! The buildings themselves may be a work in progress so, one can see that these artists are definitely pushing the boundaries of what is accepted as the norm.
Think creatively,
