A place worth knowing

Grand Cinema is a film address with an architectural reason to visit. László Hudec’s 1932 design belongs to Shanghai’s Art Deco story, with curved forms and marble floors restored during the building’s 2008 renovation.

Combine a screening with a closer look at the cinema on Nanjing West Road. Choose the film, language and session first, then make the historic building part of an outing around People’s Square.
