#discoverchina#art#shanghai Visiting the Long Museum West Bund was certainly an awe-inspiring experience, it's one of the hidden gems in Shanghai. This modern art museum possess striking spaces design, and celebrated for its architectural boldness and eclectic exhibitions. The museum displaying such as oil paintings, sculptures & crafts, plus rotating exhibitions. Apart from the stunning artwork collections, I was actually extremely impressed with the museum architecture design, featuring vaulted concrete arches, steel grilles and a blend of industrial chic with modernist minimalism. Emphasizing the building’s geometric forms and textured surfaces, the structure integrates remnants of a former coal dockyard, creating a combination between history and contemporary art. The museum's super high ceiling and spaciousness is like kind of "cavernous", with echoing atriums that evoke a bunker-like feel. I'm really loved its uniqueness and tranquil industrial vibe. ⏩ The admission ticket for Long Museum West Bund is RMB 260, which on the higher side but worth it. 🕰️ The art museum operating hours is Tuesday - Thursday from 10am - 6pm (last entry is 5pm, excluding holidays).
