Afternoon at the Museum

The Shanghai Museum is, of course, located in Shanghai. Its a building shaped to resemble an ancient Chinese bronze pot. In the museum there are rooms that hold relics of ancient China. There were bronzes, coins, clothes, furniture, jade (though that room was closed) and an assortment of other things.

The next museum we went to held the Shanghai Biennial. It had art from really well known artists. It was all very contemporary. This was on the outside of the museum. These sculptures were inside. The artist, Yue Minjun, is very well known. His work is shown a lot outside of China.
