This museum is the largest we have visited in Shanghai so far. We spent a whole day there. It has four stories, with entire wings dedicated to chinese bronze, jade, calligraphy, money, ceramics, furniture and Chinese paintings.
The most fun part is its gift shop. It has replicas of the exhibits available to purchase (vases, beautiful tea cups, paintings, even bronze containers) if you can afford it.

A cool looking building with a beautiful roof top garden. Compared to Shanghai Museum, it is smaller but with more exhibitions specific to modern Shanghai. I learned all sorts of things like how Shanghai evolved into a financial centre, how the foreign concessions operated after the opium wars and its frontier position as to Sino-Japanese war.
The gift shop is a bit...eh. It sells all sorts of stuff not much to do with its museum itself.
