Shanghai Natural History Museum

Natural-history displays in a purpose-built museum beside Jing’an Sculpture Park make a substantial indoor visit, with dinosaur specimens and biological collections giving children concrete things to explore.

Shanghai Natural History Museum

Why go

This museum provides a different view of China from the city’s history and art collections. Animal, plant and mineral specimens place familiar species beside organisms from across the country. The move to Jing’an Sculpture Park in 2015 also makes the building part of the experience, with the surrounding public space offering a useful outdoor change of pace.

What to look for

  • Dinosaur specimens in the natural-history displays
  • Collections spanning animals, plants and minerals
  • A purpose-built museum set within Jing’an Sculpture Park

Useful to know

  • Check the museum’s own ticket service before arranging your day.
  • Choose a few collection themes to explore rather than rushing through every display.
