If you're interested in China's history, this place is a must-see. A little hard to find, but well worth the search. Not many locals know it exists, but it's a real gem.
One of the best hidden gems of shanghai. You can really get a feel of the evolution of China in recent years through the unique perspective of propaganda.
If you want to see a part of China's history through posters, you must go to this museum and learn about a time in which such illustrations were full of propaganda as massive media to reach a nation.
Located in the basement level of a residence building. All posters and artifacts are part of the owner's private collection. Don't forget to pick up a post card at the gift shop before you go! :)
Fascinating museum. A bit difficult to get to but really worth it! If you enter the presidential mansion apt complex, find a security guard, they'll know what you're looking for and direct you.
The Shanghai Propaganda PosterMuseum may be a great place to visit since it acts like a brief introduction to the trip to Shanghai. This place should be the first stop of one's journey in Shanghai.
With most of the posters can be found online, the takeaway is to get your favourite copy from the gift shop. Some originally publishedMao's Quotation (aka Communism 'Bible') are for sale at 500 kuai.
Hand-written and painted denunciation notices posted during the height of the Cultural Revolution are tucked away in one corner toward the back of the basementexhibition area. Admission is 20RMB. Mehr erfahren
Very interesting museum. It's small so only 1 hour or so needed. Tricky to find - it's only got a small sign and in the basement of an apartment block. Walk down the side road on the corner.
Great place to see the history of propaganda posters through the years. Was a little difficult to find on my smart phone Google maps through a vpn but checked on the laptop for the correct directions
All about great Mao. People from former Soviet Union countries will find something really close to their propaganda posters! I enjoyed my visit to this very unusual museum!
Worth a visit for an hour over the weekend. In the basement of an apartment building. Great curated collection of propaganda posters with English and Chinese commentary.
Good deals in the gift shop for propaganda postcards with a pack of 10 for 40 RMB. A cheap way of owning some of the most famous posters in the collection!
The one depicting Chinese children during the Cultural Revolution arouses my interest. The children have crystal features and apparel that corresponds with their time period. (By Ivan Lee)
Petite mine d'or pour amateurs de vieilles affiches et ceux qui veulent en savoir plus sur les affiches de propagande sous Mao. L'accès à lexpo n'est pas facile mais vaut le détour ! Prix 20 yuan.
I wish there had been more labels, especially for the statues. But such a delightful hidden gem, tucked away in the basement of an apartment building with a guard out front.
Not easy to find, but worth it! It's in the basement of building B, in the President Mansion apartment complex. Beautifully curated with many pieces for sale. Allow an hour or less to look around.
Small and low budget basementmuseum, however, interesting with loads of take home prints in the gift shop. Worth a stop but unless a propaganda buff, you need 30m max.
I can only echo what people have said here: an interesting collection that flies way under the radar. The gift shop not only sells reproductions but also originals if you're willing to shell out.
Most artworks were based on ancient people's thought and experience, which can let us learn things from the past. This let us have a better understanding of China's history.
The 5,000 Mao-era posters in this underground museum make for brilliant pop art. Some are even for sale. For more local tips, follow us on 4sq or check out www.renhotels.com.
We walked down a dark and sketchy staricase, uncertain of what we would encounter downstaris. A basement barely spacious enough to fit our whole class waited for us at the bottom of the stairwell.
