Museum of Contemporary Art Shanghai

　　The Museum of Contemporary Art Shanghai is situated in People’s Park in the city center, adjacent to Shanghai Municipal Government, Shanghai Grand Theatre, Shanghai Art Museum, and Shanghai Museum. The museum has two floors and, although not very large in area, regularly hosts numerous exhibitions. In addition to purely artistic exhibitions, there are also brand and design shows that appeal to the general public.

　　The original site of the museum was a greenhouse within People’s Park. During the construction process, the building’s exterior glass walls were preserved, while the interior underwent extensive renovation. The venue retains its excellent natural lighting and views of the park, and with the addition of various facilities, it now meets professional museum standards. The museum covers a total area of 4,000 square meters; the exhibition area includes the first and second floor galleries, totaling nearly 1,800 square meters, all equipped with professional temperature and humidity control systems.

　　The administrative area includes meeting rooms, a multi-function hall, VIP rooms, and an information and resource center. Public service areas include a customer service desk, the museum gift shop, and a restaurant offering delicious meals with great views.

　　A 1,000-square-meter architectural space features a striking 50-meter-long crescent-shaped illuminated ramp, making a visit to the exhibitions a completely new visual experience.

　　Gallery 2 is a fusion of indoor space and outdoor environment. In this 800-square-meter open space, visitors can take in the full view of the ramp and the museum’s crystal-like glass structure.

　　The museum was funded by the Gong Ming Guang Foundation and established as a non-profit, independently operated art institution approved by the Shanghai Municipal Government. It is dedicated to promoting contemporary art from China and around the world. Managed by a team with extensive curatorial and administrative experience, the Museum of Contemporary Art Shanghai aims to cultivate appreciation for contemporary art and design from China and abroad, and to continuously advance cultural exchanges between Shanghai and the rest of the world.

　　The Museum of Contemporary Art Shanghai is a people-oriented museum. Situated in People’s Park—a place of special historical significance to the citizens of Shanghai—the museum also carries the responsibility of bringing art to the public. The museum welcomes international visitors, as well as local audiences from all walks of life, including those from the corporate, cultural, and educational sectors.

　　Since opening in the autumn of 2005, the exhibitions held at the Museum of Contemporary Art Shanghai have received widespread international acclaim. In September 2006, the museum launched its first archival exhibition, “Inside Out: New Chinese Art,” as part of the first Shanghai MOCA Envisage exhibition series.
