China Art Museum
中华艺术宫
Art museum converted from the China Pavilion of the World Expo, with the “Crown of the Orient” architecture and a collection of modern Chinese art.
China Art Museum is located in the Expo area of Pudong. It was converted from the China Pavilion of the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, and the red, dougong-inspired “Crown of the Orient” was the Expo's landmark building. The museum displays modern and contemporary Chinese art, with permanent and special exhibitions rotating. A digital version of Along the River During the Qingming Festival was a popular Expo attraction. Permanent exhibitions are free but require a reservation, and the museum is usually closed on Mondays. Metro Line 8 at China Art Museum Station is the nearest stop. It can be combined with the Expo Culture Park and the Huangpu riverfront.
