I have long been waiting for this moment - when raining will finally go in Shanghai, and I can stop running around this beautiful city with a clean conscience and go to the museum. Because I could not miss the Shanghai Museum with its best in the world in the world. Yes, and finally began to stroll along the People's Square and learn a little more about planning and developing one of the most thickest megalopolises of the planet.
The Shanghai Museum was founded in 1952, and at first was located in the building of the former jacket club, which today is on the corner of the People's Square.
This building built in 1934 has its own history, and for many years was a symbol of Shanghai. Until then, the People's Square appeared here (1949), there was a hippodrome (starting from 1862). When communism, jumps and rates were prohibited, and the polygon was turned into a place for parades. The Square itself, like all China, it seems, began to be actively built up in the nineties, and the current building of the museum began to build in 1993, and finished in October 1996.
Stunning building. Local architect Sing Tong Hebe designed it in the form of an ancient bronze vessel for cooking, called Dean. They say inspiration served a vessel and Ke Dean, located at the exhibition in the museum.
The building has a square base and a round second floor, simply ancient Chinese vision of the world as "Round Heaven, Square Earth."
In the collection of the museum more than 120 thousand copies. There are 11 permanent galleries
* Gallery of the ancient Chinese bronze
* Gallery ancient Chinese sculpture
* Gallery of the ancient Chinese ceramics
* Gallery of ancient Chinese paintings
* Gallery of Ancient Chinese Calligraphy
* Gallery of ancient Chinese jade products
* Gallery of ancient Chinese seals
* gallery of ancient Chinese numismatics
* Gallery of Chinese Furniture - Ming and Qing Dynasties
* Gallery of art and Chinese minority products
In addition, there are three special hall for temporary exhibitions.
As for me, the coolest gallery in the museum is a collection of ancient bronze
This is something unique. I haven't seen this anywhere else.
If I correctly understood, mostly products are divided into several categories: Jia (vessels for wine with animal masks) - the epoch of the state of the middle Shan (XV - XIII century BC), Lee (vessels for food with animal masks, the same era ), Yue Fu Yu, Epoch Late Shan (XIII - XI century BC)
There are square vessels: Yu Epochs of Western Zhou (XI century BC), Siao Chen Si Yu and Square I Fu Lei, Both - Late Shang Epoch
Believe me, the bronze collection of vessels can be shown infinitely
I did probably about five hundred photographs, but I'll show you so far the two most you liked the instance. This vessel, which became one of the symbols of the museum, and part-time my favorite instance.
And this, no less beautiful
The bronze collection has become a favorite point number 9 of my trip to China -. However, the Shanghai Museum is rich not only bronze, so let's go further.
Honestly, I was impressed by the collection of ancient sculptures much less. So I will show only some famous ancient Buddha dynasty Tang (vi ey), and a curious ancient stele with the image of a thousand Buddha.
And go to the Ceramics Collection
This type of ceramic products was invented in ancient China.
It is called Seladon - a special kind of glaze and a specific pale-grayish-greenish shade of green color.
In the second photo - Bixie (the exhaustioner of evil spirits in the form of a lion), the Western Jin dynasty, 265-420.
Sinkai style figures (tricolor ceramics)
And this is a completely different style. In the era of Dynasty, the Tang began a sharp development of ceramic art, which continued in the era of the five dynasties and flowed into real rivalry between the south and the north. The peak of this stage of development of ceramic art later became seledon objects of Yu in the south, and white ceramics Sing in the north. Here are some examples
On the first photo - a seledon vase with the glaze dragon of the South Sun dynasty. On the second - Quingbai, a white lamp. On the third - vase with ears (both called), covered with red design from clouds and dragons. Relationship does not have a relationship, just an artifact with such a name, and I couldn't miss the draars in any way)
Another curious example of white ceramics. It turns out this pillow, in the form of a house with a figure of a person at the entrance. Epoch - North Sun Dynasty.
This ceramics is much later, but since the vase is considered one of the symbols of the museum, I decided to show it as an example. The design is called phenkai with peaches and bats. There is a plate of this design.
We return to Sankai style. It was this style that he had the most influence as in the West - for example in Italy, in Cyprus and other countries and in the east, for example in Syria. In the Shanghai Museum, these statues of strangers on camels are considered to be the most famous subjects of Sankai.
Go to the pictures. To be honest, this part attracted me a little less than a collection of bronze or ceramics (and maybe I was already heard), but there is one curious fabric of Dina Yun Peny "Filtering Wine". It is said that it was the inspiration of Eduard mana for his famous "breakfast on the grass."
Finally, a little about the art gallery and products of Chinese minorities. She is interested in the first place that the money of the Jewish family of Caduri felt on her.
I wrote a little about the Kaduri family when I talked about the agricultural school of Caduri in the north of Israel. The first representative of the family in China was Eliezer Eli Sovis Kaduri, who moved to Shanghai from Bombay in the 1880s. In 1942 he was taken straight from the house to a Japanese prison for foreigners, and there he died in 1944. Eli Cadurie's grave is one of the four Jewish grave stoves who survived after the cultural revolution. It is located in the Sun Qinglin Memorial Park (Sun Yatnah's wife) near the Quarter Huyamuy -.
Unfortunately, it was the only time I "touched" the Shanghai's Jewish story, probably, so I was so impressed. History, this, if someone does not know, very rich. Shanghai was the only place in the world, where the Jews running from the Nazi regime took without a visa, so they came here about 30 thousand (a curious fact that I learned quite recently - while swimming in Shanghai from Europe, ships with Jewish refugees stayed in ports "Palestines" or Eretz Israel - Jaffa and, it seems, ACCO, and the Jews were offered to go ashore. The overwhelming majority refused, since Eretz Israel had been associated with Asia in those years, and China is not. Such cases). After the capture of Shanghai by the Japanese in 1937, most Jews were placed in the ghetto, but their living conditions had much more favorable than in other ghetto. Let's just say that they were not burned in gas chambers.
On the territory of the ghetto today is the museum. In addition, two synagogues have been preserved, and some more interesting objects, but they were all very far from the center, and I had a little disastrous time, so, fastening my heart, this part had to donate ...
By the way, besides the Kaduri family, another famous Jewish family lived in Shanghai - Sassun, "Eastern Rothschilds". Sons of Eli Kaduri, Lawrence and Sir Khoras worked at Viktor Sassun, and were the managers of his famous Peace Hotel Hotel, also called Sassoon House. The building, which was once the highest in Shanghai, is still on the waterfront of Waitan - and is considered one of the most beautiful buildings of Bund. At some point, the brothers moved to Housingly, where Louuren's son Michael was born, today also with Sir title, as well as one of the richest people on Earth. I think it was he who donated the money to the Shanghai Museum. The house of the Kaduri family, the Marble Palace (now the Children's Palace) is located on Yan`an Road - and is considered one of the most striking examples of colonial architecture in Shanghai.
Finally - a little Chinese Qing Dynasty Furniture
And it's time to continue. As you understand, I showed you only the most extract of museum exhibits. The collection of the Shanghai Museum in my opinion is not worse than the Louvre, Hermitage or the British Museum, or in the extreme case takes a very high place in the second echelon. So do not miss. And we go to the People's Square.
About the People's Square can be told no less than about the Shanghai Museum, and I liked it no less - so much that I even entered the list Moisie favorite moments in China at number 8. The square is actually a kilometer square four to four, and here, in addition to the Shanghai Museum, the Shanghai Museum of Art is located (in the former jacket club on the first photo of this post), singing fountains and government building (in the photo above), Shanghai Big Theater
K11, or Honkong New World Tower, Shanghai Shanghai Skyscraper (photo
Hotel Park Hotel Shanghai - the highest building in Asia between 1934-1952
And the Shanghai City Planning Museum in which we now and come
The building itself was planned in the spirit of the Bolshoi Theater, in order to add balance and harmony to the line between these two structures. Building height - 43 meters, construction collected from white aluminum panels and has a symbolic membrane structural roof.
Since the opening of the museum in 2000, 5 million people visited it. The main push gave the Expo exhibition, which took place in Shanghai in 2010.
The exhibition passed under the slogan "The best city is the best life." In the lobby we see the Shanghai map, and the monument dedicated to the sharp industrial development of the city.
Some emphasis, of course, is made on the development of the Pudun futuristic island -, but also do not forget about historical monuments. There are here and the layout of the Watan embankment with all the buildings of Bund
And the layout of old traditional gardens
And the story of numerous Shanghai Shikmench, some of which I even managed to visit -
However, the central exhibit of the museum is a huge layout of the city, which includes all the existing Shanghai houses and homes approved for construction.
From the top floor and with the glove of the city layout looks even more impressive
I have already said that Shanghai is a city that needs to be viewed first at night, enjoy the backlight. Even the layout in the urban planning museum confirms this thesis)
Another stunning "Museum Exponment" is a kind of multimedia excursion flight according to Shanghai. I do not even know how to explain it ... You become on such a podium, and you in 3D show Shanghai, and such a feeling that you are soaring in the air. In general, China, as always, ahead of the rest of the world. During the show, you fly through Pudun, and through many other Shanghai regions, but I specially chose this frame, the former Expo-2010 Pavilion, in which the Chinese Art Museum is located today. Still, the topic we have a museum, and this is the biggest museum of art in Asia. I did not have time inside (so that you understand how negligible for three days in Shanghai), but I saw the building itself and was very impressed.
Well, the last bonus of the museum of the city planning - from the upper floors a great view of the folk area opens. More precisely on some of her segments, for it is too big to embrace her all.
This is the side of the Public Park, with Hotel Park Hotel Shanghai and other more historical buildings. And from the second side, just an incredible view of the Shanghai Museum, a historic concert hall, and the surrounding skyscrapers
By the way, the exit from the museum of urban planning is planned so that you go down to the underpass and get to the shopping street imitating the Shanghai of the 30s.
Well, the exit and outcomes are probably no noticeable building, except that I lived near him, and I like it. This is probably all about museums, and about my Shanghai.
