Shanghai Museum East Building "Fusion of Ancient and New" Exhibition

The first time I encountered Teacher Yan was at the Dunhuang exhibition. At that time, after hearing just a couple of sentences, I knew I was lucky today. This teacher’s foundation is extraordinary, so I endured my hunger and listened to the two-hour spiritual feast in full. The teacher said, "Education is not high consumption; try to cover low-income groups." The teacher also said, "Great concealment lies within the city." Yesterday, I was fortunate to listen to the teacher’s sharing at the Shanghai Museum East Building. If before I was just a dilettante, from now on I have fallen in love with cultural relics. 📍Detailed introduction as follows: "Fusion of Ancient and New: The Revival and Innovation of Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasty Bronzes" is a special exhibition jointly held by the Shanghai Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, USA. Below is the exhibition introduction and visiting guide: 📍Exhibition Introduction - Exhibition Dates: November 12, 2025, to March 16, 2026. - Exhibition Location: Special Exhibition Hall, 1st Floor, East Building, Shanghai Museum. - Exhibition Content: The exhibition gathers about 178 pieces/groups of exhibits, covering important museum collections from Asia, Europe, and America, supplemented by paintings, ceramics, and enamels from the same period. The exhibition is divided into four units: "Revering and Respecting Antiquity, Recreating Three Dynasties" showcasing Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasty archaistic ritual bronzes; "Casting Ancient and Innovating, Forming a Unique Style" presenting commercialized bronzes; "Eternal Model, Shining Through Ages" focusing on "Yongxuan gilt bronze statues" and "Xuande censers"; "Daily Life and Cultivation, New Ideas in Ancient Bronzes" displaying bronzes related to literati elegance and Buddhist and Daoist rituals. - Exhibition Highlights: This exhibition is one of the largest recent exhibitions of Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing bronzes at home and abroad. By comparing similar types of cultural relics from Chinese and foreign museums, as well as archaistic bronzes from the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties with the bronzes they imitate, it reveals the similarities and differences in bronze art styles and highlights the core idea of revival and innovation throughout the development of Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing bronzes. 💯Visiting Guide - Ticket Information: Free admission, no reservation required. - Opening Hours: 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, closed on Tuesdays. - Transportation Guide: Take Metro Line 2 to Shanghai Science and Technology Museum Station, exit from gates 2, 7, or 8, then walk about 10 minutes to the museum.
