Exhibition Information
I originally went for the pictures of the Oriental Pearl Tower but decided to check out the exhibition. there was only one this time by Chen Yifei. His work is amazing and it was cool to see the brains behind some of the city planning along with his other contributions. I was impressed by his oil paintings, too! I’m not necessarily an art buff but it was still neat to witness!
Invested, built and operated by Lujiazui Group, The Museum of Art Pudong(MAP) was designed by Jean Nouvel, a famous French architect and Pritzker Prize winner.

Pudong Art Museum is located in Pudong New District, Shanghai, with a superior geographical location and direct subway access. The venue is elegant and high-end, with a large area and rich exhibits. There are exhibitions of different styles on each floor. The rooftop terrace offers a view. After visiting the exhibition, it is also nice to go to the rooftop and enjoy the evening breeze!
Do spend time having a drink at the ROOF P.M. of the museum to enjoy the sunset view. The exhibitions are great too.
Shanghai Pudong Art Museum is a modern art museum with great aesthetic and artistic value, whether it is the building itself, the exhibition content and the overall atmosphere, is full of artistic atmosphere. The total area of the mirror hall on the 2nd and 3rd floors is huge, and the glass is equipped with a high-precision screen. When the screen is closed, the Huangpu River water and the opposite building complex are reflected in the mirror, making it itself an artwork; the mirror hall also becomes a "no boundary art gallery". The museum is located in the core area of the riverside of Xiaolujiazui, Shanghai, backed by the Oriental Pearl Tower, facing the Bund historical complex, and has a superior location. While watching the exhibition, you can also enjoy the beautiful view of Shanghai city in the museum, punch in the iconic mirror hall, 360° panoramic terrace and other beautiful architectural spaces. In the gallery interior from different perspectives to see the outdoor scenery, it is worth taking pictures and punching in.
I have come to Pumei many times, and each exhibition brings different feelings and experiences. This time I brought my family to see the Turner exhibition. There are fewer people on weekends, maybe Turner is not famous enough in China! However, his naturalist style of depicting light to express his emotions is very unique. After watching the exhibition, I went to the mirror hall and the terrace on the fifth floor. I didn't expect the weather to be so good. The Oriental Pearl was within reach. A very good experience with a view of Puxi, Huangpu River and Oriental Pearl on the terrace.
On Christmas Eve 2024, I came to Pudong Art Museum to see the exhibition during the day, mainly to see the "Dialogue Turner" exhibition. Look at the past on the first and third floors. Each floor of the art museum has a theme. In addition, it is also very good to go to the top terrace to see the scenery. The cultural and creative shops are full of people. There is also a free color seal to cover. The cafe environment in the art gallery is also very fresh. The overall experience is good. [Cost-effective] After five o'clock in the evening, you can enjoy the 80 yuan night scene. At night, the lights on both sides of the Pujiang River are bright and the view is better.
Night tour of Pudong Art Museum, I was fortunate to meet the heavy exhibition "600 years of giants: masterpieces from the Tyson-Bonemisa National Museum", Figures 1 to 9 are Raphael's "Portrait of a Young Man", Rubens's "Venus and Cupid", Courbet's "The Stream", Van Gogh's Handler of Arles, Manet's Knightess, Chagall's Virgin of the Country, Canaletto's Looking at the Grand Canal from Venice San Vio, Kandinsky's Murnay: The End of the Johannes Street, Xialdan's "Cockroaches, kettles and copper pots" are all authentic. The exhibition lasts until November 12. If you have a student who loves Western painting art recently come to Shanghai, you must not miss it.
In Pudong Art Museum, I met again a few years later and tried to approach Turner through a make-up class. He is a representative of British romantic landscape painting, focusing on nature. He was born in the young genius of Coban, but chose the landscape painting that was not in the stream at that time. He is experiencing the industrial revolution. But I realized that people are like ants in front of nature/universe* He is a traveler and has been traveling in the wind for his life (on the wing )* He draws while walking and carries a sketchbook with him. His watercolors and pencils are like modern people’s mobile phones capturing the moment of heartbeat * He is good at light and color (affected by Rembrandt), and he plays the color texture to the extreme in old age * He is good at perspective, and the layout of the paintings in youth * He likes to paint disasters - rough waves, avalanches, Fires, etc., used to warn humanity of hubris* His paintings have what Kant calls sublime (vs beauty)* He raised landscapes to the height of historical paintings* His favorite city is Venice* He influenced the Impressionist and Abstractist exhibitions: Turner Dialogue Turner: Sublime echo @Pudong Art Museum 2024.10.1-2025.5.10
