- Robin J1 contributionPropaganda posters: Tucked away museum, small space but interesting exhibitSmall museum tucked away inside building without much obvious signage to help. However, once found it, lots of exhibits categorised into eras/subject. Interesting for a look through for most people, I feel for those highly interested in the subject there's lots to dig through. Paid for ticket on entry.Visited September 2023Travelled soloWritten October 14, 2023
- MuzzamuzzamuzzaWellington, New Zealand140 contributionsQuirky museum, worth a visitI wish I had read the reviews. They would have saved me a lot of time trying to find this small quirky museum. Thankfully, the journey was worthwhile. The posters depict the flow of history in the 20th century and they can be appreciated as art in their own right.Visited December 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten January 13, 2024
- Hans PVienna, Austria78 contributionsExceptional must see visitMust see visit. This museum is the result of the work of a single man who collected these original posters. These are witnesses of times gone but give a glimpse of times gone by. The museum is small but has a good sample of what was used at the time to manipulate the people. Since this museum is the initiative of one single, very nice, man, one should visit it as long as it lasts. Fortunately he produced several booklets with photos of these posters. The place is not easy to find as inside a big building but with some patience one can get there.Visited April 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten April 6, 2024
- Christian SKongens Lyngby, Denmark7 contributionsA great time machineThe museum is a fantastic time machine bringing you back to a bygone era in China. The posters were engaging and interesting to watch. You can easily spend and hour here. There is also a good museum shop where you can even buy original posters. Finding the museum was a bit tricky. It is located between two banks on Yannan road.Visited March 2024Travelled with familyWritten May 11, 2024
- Daniel LApex, North Carolina821 contributionsHidden but insanely coolHidden gem full of insanely cool propaganda posters from the late 1900s and early 2000s. They have a small shop inside selling intact original copies of the Little Red Book in most major languages, and replicate posters. It's pretty hard to find this place, it is located inside an office building and seemingly intentionally hidden away.Visited December 2023Travelled soloWritten August 22, 2024
- Alessio0575Monza, Italy188 contributionsAn amazingly unique place to visitThis is a unique place for history lovers, a small museum displaying a vast collection of propaganda posters dating back since the creation of the Chinese state. The posters somehow cover all main moments of the Chinese history since 1949. It is also possible to buy copies and some original old postcards already with frames. some insturctions to find the Museum: Get out at Jiangsu Road Metro station. Walk down the road to the junction of Jiangsu Road and Yan‘an Viad. There is a big building (Huamin Empire Plaza) which you enter at section 726. its located on the 7th floor.Visited August 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten August 27, 2024

Address is 726 Yananxi Rd, if you Didi type in Shanghai Propaganda Poster Art Centre. It’s on the 7th floor.
Beautiful collection with descriptions / history to help you learn more about China’s past. There is a lovely souvenir shop where you can buy very affordable replicas, or invest in original pieces. The owner is very kind and can help steer you in the direction of what you’re interested in.

The Propaganda Poster Museum is a very special place. I never thought there would be a place that conserved chinese history so well. There are a lot of explanations alongside the posters and you can really feel that the owners put a lot of thought into the display. At the end of my visit I got the chance to talk to the owner who was very kind and gave me some deeper explanations on the posters and Chinese as well as Shanghainese history.
If you’re interested in Chinese history and want to understand their view on the world more you should definitely visit this place!

My first time in Shanghai, in a period not conducive to the exhausting heat. In three days we walked down Nanjing Road, saw the famous Bund, the Yu Mandarin Garden and the French concession, von a small museum dedicated to the history of Cins. The aquarium is cute, with plenty of river fish and a space dedicated to the aquatic fauna of the Yangtze. It goes for being iconic, but there are much more interesting cities.

Didi navigation knows the place but it's a non-descriptive office building and the museum is located on 7th floor. Posters / pictures with Chinese and English context are provided and super interesting to see how these supported the various themes throughout China's 20th century history! Takes 30 min but worth visiting. I walked from Jing An temple here in 15 min.

Interesting museum but difficult to find. The museum is located near the Yan an viaduct in the Hua min Empire plaza building on the 7th floor. Not far from the Subway restaurant

I am having trouble locating this on a map. I get different searches found on google and bing. Please let me know the major cross streets and/or a landmark. Thank you very much.

You're looking for 868 Hua Shan Road, which is roughly at a T-intersection with Wukang road. The numbers of the buildings are well-indicated, it's on the north side of the street. Coordinates are 31.213398, 121.438904 (if you paste these numbers into google maps, a marker shows up). The museum itself is in (what I guess is) a residential complex. Once you're at the comples, just turn to the guard station on the roadside, and they'll let you in, giving you a little business card with directions.
