Shanghai History Museum
The Shanghai History Museum is in the former Shanghai Race Club building on Nanjing West Road near People's Square, an early-twentieth-century stone landmark with a clock tower. The permanent galleries are free and trace the city from a fishing town to a modern metropolis, with well-presented artefacts, models and photographs across several floors. Entry is free but you need a timed booking through the official channel. It pairs naturally with People's Park next door, and it works well for families and first-time visitors.
