- Attraction Introduction -
The Shanghai Museum houses a collection of bronze wares from every era, starting from the Xia Dynasty. Many of these are national treasures with well-documented histories, forming a collection characterized by its systematic completeness, wide variety, and abundance of masterpieces.
The East Hall's 'Ancient Chinese Bronze Gallery' is its sixth renovation in 50 years, presenting visitors with one of the most comprehensive displays of ancient Chinese bronze ware in the world. The current exhibition features over 500 selected items, reflecting the history, development, and evolution of ancient Chinese bronze ware over 3,600 years, from the late Xia Dynasty in the 18th century BC to the mid-Qing Dynasty in the 19th century AD.
The exhibition hall is organized around the history of Chinese bronze craftsmanship, divided into seven sections: Emergence, Development, Peak, Transformation, Renewal, Integration, and Revival. The exhibits fully demonstrate the characteristics of bronze craftsmanship in different periods, collectively showcasing the brilliance of Chinese bronze art. There is also a section on bronze production techniques, vividly illustrating how ancient laborers used their remarkable wisdom and skillful hands to forge the magnificent Chinese bronze culture.
Compared to the People's Square branch, the East Hall's bronze exhibition hall has undergone adjustments and upgrades in its structural layout, content, unit descriptions, object descriptions, and exhibits.
