The Shanghai Art Museum is a museum housed in the former clubhouse of the Shanghai Racing Club. It is located next to People's Square, which was also built on the former Shanghai Racecourse. The museum has a clocktower with a four-faced clock.

The Shanghai Art Museum building was built in 1933 for the clubhouse. In 1937, it was taken over by the Japanese and used as a military office. When the communist government took it over, they built underground tunnels, some of which are located under the building.

In addition to the art museum, the building also houses Kathleen's 5, a famous upmarket restaurant.

How to reach the Shanghai Art Museum

Take Line 1 of the Shanghai Metro to the People's Square subway station. Walk through People's Square in the direction of Huangpi North Road, and you will pass by the Shanghai Art Museum on your right.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
