Adhering to Chinese culture of “protection, inheritance, and dedication”, the museum promotes the study of ancient artifacts with the core of “material, technique, form and pattern”, and cooperates with Peking University’s School of Archaeology and Museology etc. to strive to improve on the platform of cooperation between museum and universities. The museum collection can be divided into Buddhist Sculptures, Ancient Jade, Ancient Pottery Figures, and Blue-and-white Porcelains. more>>>

Architectural Design

Aurora Museum is designed by Mr. Tadao Ando, a world-renowned architect. The architecture of the museum is inspired by the jewelry box, which uses the glass curtain to build a concise and clear geometric appearance. In the Huangpu night scenery, the museum is like a deep, quiet and reserved blue jewelry box. Space structure and exhibition display unites cleverly, which demonstrates a strong sense of history and artistry and renders a wonderfully dramatic and penetrating effect. The museum creates another new urban landscape and cultural landmarks for Shanghai.more>>>
