上海抱朴美术馆

Baopu Art Museum occupies the second floor of 58 Haiping Road in Hongkou District, on the North Bund waterfront directly across the Huangpu River from the Oriental Pearl Tower and Shanghai Tower. It is a private museum focused on collecting, researching and showing modern and contemporary Chinese art. Collecting began in 2008 and now exceeds a thousand works, ranging across coins, stamps, cloisonne, porcelain, painting and calligraphy, jade, Suzhou embroidery, ivory and Yixing teapots. The museum also reconstructs the Beijing studio of the cartoonist Ding Cong and displays his 12,000-volume library, including more than 660 signed copies given by cultural figures. The 1,700 sq m interior was designed by Hu Wuhao with the French designer William in a black-and-white palette. A white spiral staircase linking all three levels is the building's signature gesture, while the second floor holds the main galleries, where high ceilings and full-height glazing bring in river light. A 6,400 sq m roof terrace faces the North Bund green belt and the Lujiazui skyline and is used for receptions and evening events. Admission is free, Tuesday to Sunday 9:00-17:30 with a Saturday night session until 22:00, by reservation through the museum's official WeChat account. The surrounding blocks include North Bund Raffles City and White Magnolia Plaza, with the riverside promenade a short walk away.
