A private contemporary art museum in People's Park, the Shanghai Museum of Contemporary Art focuses on new media, digital art, and design-oriented contemporary work in a 2005 building at the edge of the park. The programming is international and focuses on accessible contemporary art for a broad audience rather than the specialist market orientation of the commercial galleries.
Free entry on selected days; otherwise affordable admission. The building is at the northwest corner of People's Park, providing an alternative entry point to the park from the Nanjing Road end. Open daily except Mondays. People's Park is accessible without entering the museum and is a worthwhile green space in the otherwise dense city center.
