The Bund History Memorial Hall

　　The Bund History Memorial Hall was established in September 1995 and is jointly hosted by the Huangpu District Government and the Shanghai Municipal Archives Bureau. Visitors can gain insight into the development history of Shanghai through the evolution of the Bund. In January 2003, the memorial hall was designated as a Shanghai Patriotic Education Base.

　　The memorial hall primarily displays precious historical photographs, supplemented by representative archival documents and physical artifacts, showcasing 150 years of historical changes in the Bund area. Utilizing modern multimedia techniques—including digital picture frames, projections, touchscreens, and e-books—it presents the century-long transformations of the Bund. The exhibits include both the old look of the Bund as the gathering place of international banks forming the “Oriental Wall Street” and the “Architecture of All Nations,” as well as the preservation of Bund architecture, the construction of the Central Business District, and the financial hub over the past 30 years of reform and opening up. The exhibition is divided into two sections: the history of the old Bund before liberation and the development of the new Bund after liberation. With the main themes of “The Bund—The Starting Point of Modern Shanghai’s Urban Development” and “The Bund—The Window of Shanghai’s Reform and Opening Up Today,” it reflects the modern and contemporary history of Shanghai through the ever-changing face of the Bund.
