A place worth knowing

Choose an exhibition first, then leave time for the building and the riverside. The former power station gives contemporary art a different setting from the city’s smaller galleries, and rewards a visit with some room around it.

Shanghai’s official museum guide lists Tuesday to Sunday opening, 11:00–19:00, with last entry at 18:00. Mondays close except on national holidays. Admission depends on the exhibition; do not assume the whole museum is free.

The address is 678 Miaojiang Road in Huangpu district. Check the museum’s current programme and holiday notices before travelling. The cover is an exterior photograph from October 2012, not a view of today’s exhibitions.
