Shanghai is China's largest city, but aside from this it is also the leading center of fashion, art and aesthetic appreciation in the Middle Kingdom. Art galleries abound and nearly all of the small hip art galleries feature new and creative pieces from up and coming artists. You'll be able to see Shanghai through the eyes of its most enterprising artists, and the designers and innovators of tomorrow.
Explore regional and folk art at the Museum of Folk Art, which houses interesting pieces from around the area and gives insight into contemporary art and fashion. You'll find all manner of traditional art pieces, from fabric to print and even artifacts from yesteryear on display.
The Shanghai Art Museum is a flash into the past, and houses art from several genres and generations. The Shanghai Gallery of Art is somewhat similar. For an encouraging stroll through the transformation in China's art scene, this is a great place to begin.
Contemporary Art spans the city, from the graffiti art in Moganshan to the elegant pieces on display at the Fanguzi Gallery, you'll find anything you desire in Shanghai. Contemporary and modern art are literally everywhere, from the architecture to the artists drawing on the Bund.
