Shanghai University Museum

A Baoshan campus museum for Haipai culture, Shanghai dialect and university history, with a separate outdoor Suyuan area.

Shanghai’s municipal museum guide describes Shanghai University Museum as China’s sole museum dedicated to Haipai culture: Shanghai’s 20th-century East-meets-West cultural tradition. The museum combines the Haipai Culture Museum, Shanghai Dialect Culture Exhibition and Experience Hall, Shanghai University History Museum and Qian Weichang Memorial Hall; Suyuan is a separate outdoor exhibition area preserving the legacy of old Shanghai University. The guide lists the main museum at 333 Nanchen Road in Baoshan District and Suyuan at 99 Shangda Road. Choose the section you want before setting out, then check the museum’s current official channel for access, exhibitions and visitor arrangements.

Questions

What to keep in mind.

Is Suyuan in the same place as the main museum?

No. The municipal guide lists Shanghai University Museum at No 333 Nanchen Road and Suyuan at No 99 Shangda Road. Confirm the current visitor arrangement for the area you want to see.

What is the clearest reason to choose this museum?

Choose it for Haipai culture, Shanghai dialect and Shanghai University history rather than a general city-history overview. The municipal guide identifies those distinct component museums and collections.
