上海宣传画艺术中心

skykids

要找到这家博物馆可不容易啦，但过程相当有趣。里面虽然不大，各种宣传海报非常很好玩喔。附近的街区也有许多小店。

喜欢绘画，喜欢艺术的你一定不能错过的地方！第一次是和家人去的，而后又和朋友去了一次，有很多国外的，可以欣赏到很多与国内视角不同的东西，从而让自己更多角度的思考问题，对艺术画有了更深度的解读和认识！

上海宣传画艺术中心的画都比较有个性的，很多标语性质的宣传画，体现大跃进和文革时代时的生活情况，也些是外国标语的。来参观的外国人也很多的，老外对这个好像很感兴趣似的。

博物馆位于一个昏暗的居民区建筑内。这里挂满了各种共产党的标语和一些英文解释。这些都是大跃进和文化大革命时期非常令人欢欣鼓舞的标语。而如今的中国已经看不到这些标语了,你能体会到中国花了很长的时间才度过了这些艰难的岁月。同时这里还有支持美国黑人人权的条幅。博物馆内出售一些纪念品和原始条幅。

As someone who is interested in cold war history, this is brilliant! Like everyone else here is saying, it is incredibly difficult to find, took us nearly three hours ofwalking around trying to find the address and asking people where it was, which nobody knew; also don't expect to find signs, so plan as well as you can before going! The museum itself is small, only takes about 30 minutes to see, but it is very interesting to see propaganda poster presented chronologically through the cold war.

we were told by a friend who had previously been here a year or two ago to seek it out. I'm glad we did. Lots of great posters, and my wife picked up a copy of Mao's little Red Book in an English translation from 1965. It's in the basement of what we thought were residential flats, but don't let that put you off.

Having been here, I was slightly let down. Not necessarily because of the quality of the museum, but because of all of the sterling reviews. It is interesting, but isn't anything that you couldn't see thumbing through a book. Case in point: the gift shop is full of 10,000 replicas of all the stuff you have just spent an hour seeing. Photos and replicas of these things are everywhere. There isn't really much virtue in having seen the original of something so ubiquitous. If you have a lot of time, or are particularly in to propaganda posters, then go. Otherwise, just skip it. The place is hard to find anyway.

It wasn't easy to find this place - we found the gate number of the place, and then the security guard gave us a card, and pointed us in the direction of several buildings down the way. We walked over and found some minimal signage pointing to the basement of the building, where this display is. I, for one, appreciated the critical look at China's history - it's as subversive as it gets in this heavily-censored country.

I visited the Shanghai Propaganda Poster Art Centre during my last stay in Shanghai. First of all I would recommend you to get there by taxi as it’s the most convenient and easiest way. Once you get there you have to find building number 4 within the apartment blocks (the security guard outside will give you a small map of the exact location) once you find building number 4 you have to go down to de basement. The Centre is a simple room where all the Propaganda posters are hanged out in order of the different years. It’s very interesting to see all the detailed posters from the past. It really shows you how Propaganda was made during the years. There are also English explanation to make it easier to understand.I can really recommend the visit here (calculate at least an hour if you are interested in reading all the explanations) entry fee is RMB 20.-. There is also a shop where you can buy some Posters and Postcards

As stated by others, this place is quite off the beaten path (and a little sketchy?) I went with some friends who loved it, but I was not very impressed. The most interesting thing for me was that the posters were originals which has been secretly saved after propaganda was ordered to be burned. But other than that, though it was an interesting look at the Chinese propaganda machine over the last century, the museum was tiny and I'm not sure it wasn't anything you couldn't just look up through other means anyway. Didn't seem worth the entry fee to me.

We went here 2 weeks ago and I agree with most people. It is a really nice place. It gives a good insight in history. There is also a nice giftshop wher we purchaed several items,... Such as also an original old poster. The bad thing is the staff. Neither the security staff outside nor the guy inside were very friendly.

hard to find as others have noted but definitely find it. Get the address and approach the guards, they will hand you a card with a visual on how to get to the right apartment building in the complex. Once in, be ready for a history lesson and to spend some time. I wish I had purchased something from the store as you could take no photos but we ran out of time. It appears that these are one of a kind items as the Chinese government did not employ any archivist or librarian! Give yourself some time to enjoy this. I do hope that the collection finds its way to a better space for its own protection but to see it here as the owner has presented the works is a treat that you will enjoy. Literally, there are tacks in the posters with some plastic over them.

This is something you dont see on your average trips.All kinds of posters, slogans, cards with communist propagada images... Highly recommended!

You can see Chinese bronzes and porcelain at many museums in many places, but i don't think you can see this kind of history anywhere else. This museum is small, but well labeled and easy to get a sense of this period of modern Chinese history through the poster art of the times. This is a private collection worth supporting. You can get through it in 45 minutes, a good use of time in the former French Concession area of Shanghai, with lots of great restaurant options all around.

It is nearly impossible to find as there are no signs outside at the guard gate. The museum is in the basement of a collective of apartment buildings and unless you decide to stop and show the guard where you are going on your phone, he will watch you walk past 12 times without saying a word. Then once you actually show him, he will hand you a tiny card with a map and tell you where to go in broken English. I am sure they don't love a museum with all of the Mao posters on display knowing that we believe it is all propaganda...One hour at the museum is more than enough but you do get a feel for the sentiment of the Chinese towards other countries years ago. Very interesting. Worth a quick trip.
