Group tour (shared guided tour with other visitors, tickets not included) 2. Private small group tour (exclusive guide, in-depth customized route), you will then begin your exploration of the Shanghai Museum’s exhibitions: In the “Ancient Chinese Bronze Gallery,” get up close to national treasures such as the Da Ke Ding and the Jin Hou Su Bell, and listen to the ritual music civilization and symbols of power behind the bronze ritual vessels; move to the “Ancient Chinese Ceramics Gallery,” from Tang Sancai to Ru ware celadon, deciphering the peak of craftsmanship and aesthetic changes over a thousand years of kiln fires; in the “Ancient Chinese Painting and Calligraphy Gallery” (or “Gallery of Chinese Paintings Through the Ages”), through masterpieces such as “Gaoyi Tu” and “Shangyu Tie,” experience the literati spirit and oriental artistic conception conveyed through brush and ink. After the tour, you can also choose to continue visiting other permanent exhibition halls on your own (such as the Jade Gallery, Furniture Gallery, Ethnic Minorities Craft Gallery, etc.), immersing yourself in this cross-temporal dialogue of civilizations.
