The Shanghai Museum is a world-class museum that really requires a full day to see. We only had two hours, so we just got a sampling of what it holds.

| A pottery tomb guardian beast from the Tang Dynasty. |

| Bronze Buddha and other figures. Unfortunately, the label for this piece was only in Mandarin. |
