Well it took nearly three years for us to do, but on one of our final days in Shanghai we spent an afternoon at the China Art Museum. We met three friends and their children to spend a day observing the art within this iconic structure. For those still remaining in Shanghai, we’d highly recommend a visit. The museum is easy to access, located immediately off the metro stop (similarly named), has a free admission, is air conditioned quite well, has a Starbucks inside, and if you go in the afternoon almost all the other visitors and tourists are gone. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and we enjoyed art depicting Shanghai and other regions of China.
