上海当代艺术馆

Museum of Contemporary Art Shanghai (MoCA) sits inside Gate 7 of People's Park at 231 West Nanjing Road, Huangpu District, within the downtown cultural quarter formed by the Shanghai Museum, Shanghai Grand Theatre, the former Municipal Council building and the Urban Planning Exhibition Centre. Opened in 2005, it is one of China's earliest independent non-profit contemporary art institutions. The Gong Mingguang Foundation funded its construction with more than 20 million yuan, converting a glass greenhouse in the park into a glass-box museum under architect Liu Yuyang. The total area is about 4,000 square metres, with roughly 1,800 square metres of galleries on the first and second floors served by temperature and humidity control; the second floor retains the original greenhouse structure and looks out into the park, and there is a multi-function room for about 80 people plus MoCA on the Park and a restaurant on the third floor. MoCA has pursued 'art into life', becoming known for major fashion-brand exhibitions (Van Cleef & Arpels, Salvatore Ferragamo, Chanel, Dior) before widening into contemporary art, design and technology crossovers; it founded the Animamix Biennial in 2007 and runs MoCA Pavilion and 'museum without walls' community programmes. Metro Lines 1, 2 and 8 to People's Square are within walking distance, and buses 18, 20, 37, 46, 49, 123, 201, 531, 574 and 921 serve People's Square and Xizang Middle Road.
