The Shanghai Museum, on the south side of People's Square, is devoted mainly to ancient Chinese art. The building is round above and square below, after the old idea of a round heaven and a square earth. It is best known for its bronzes, ceramics, painting and calligraphy, with further galleries for sculpture, jade, coins and furniture.
