My personal favorite was the calligraphy exhibition. Food & Restaurants - There are places where you can buy drinks and snacks. I unfortunately didn’t have much time when I went but I saw plenty of other visitors with headsets. Not sure what the language options are but if you have enough time, I’d recommend getting a pair. I stayed for about 2 hours but I’d recommend over 3 hours if you don’t have a time constraint. Enjoy your visit! ☺️ #museumquest#summervacation#urbanexplorer #solotravel #learning #museum #greatday #shanghai #artexhibit #art #paintings#culture #fun #china #chinalife #chinatravel

Chinese bronzes mainly refer to various objects formed from copper and tin through smelting and forging from the late Xia dynasty to the Qin and Han periods. The Chinese Bronze Age began around 2000 BC, spanning the Xia, Shang, Western Zhou, Spring and Autumn, Warring States, and Qin-Han periods, covering nearly 15 centuries. It is an important part of Chinese culture, with significant historical and aesthetic value, especially the bronzes from the Shang and Zhou periods. The culture of bronzes was at the core of the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, where the ritual vessels of the Shang and Zhou eras held both cultural and extremely high artistic value.

| Liangzhu Civilization Special Exhibition with a reservation channel for a niche audience. Last year, I visited the Zhaizi China·Central Plains Bronze Civilization Exhibition at the Shanghai Museum, and this Dragon Boat Festival, I came to the Shanghai Museum again for the second phase of How China - Empirical China·Liangzhu Civilization Special Exhibition🙋‍♀️ I had previously visited the Liangzhu Museum in Hangzhou and watched the documentary 'Liangzhu Civilization', so I have some understanding of the Liangzhu culture. It is recommended to watch the 5-episode CCTV documentary 'Liangzhu Civilization' before coming. 💡About the Special Exhibition The exhibition gathers more than 320 sets of unearthed cultural relics treasured by 19 museums and archaeological institutions nationwide.
