Shanghai museum

Yesterday afternoon, my art class went to the Shanghai Museum, located in People's Square. We only had time to look at the Chinese Calligraphy Gallery and the Chinese Painting Gallery, but the museum is famous for their Ancient Chinese Bronze Gallery, according to my teacher. I liked the museum itself. Several people in my class didn't like the architecture of the building, but I like it, even though there does seem to be a lot of wasted space at the top. The museum felt very modern. I liked the placement of the escalators/stairs to create these V shapes, and the rich mahogany banisters. I would certainly like to go back and see the rest of the museum, especially the bronze pieces.
