Culture Shanghai

Shanghai Film Museum

Shanghai’s screen history comes into focus through filmmakers, production stories and objects from a century of cinema.

Location
595 Caoxi North Road, Xuhui

A place worth knowing

The museum looks behind the finished film, connecting the people who made it with the techniques and events around it. It is a good choice when you want to understand the city through its cultural production rather than simply tour locations seen on screen. The published standard admission is ¥60. Check the current opening calendar before visiting, and distinguish this museum from Shanghai Film Center’s cinema programme.
