Well there was a huge turnout of 100+ souls attending the Asian Art Museum‘s recent preview of Shanghai - the whole shebang opens today and runs through September 5th, 2010.
Part of the scrum in Samsung Hall the other day – wouldn’t you just love to get married in this Beaux Art chapel? Rentals available.
Now this isn’t any kind of lost treasures kind of exhibit, but it shows the progression of art in Shanghai over the years. This is from the first room:

I’ll make a point to get in there and look at everything closely.
By the way, the massive paperback catalog /collector’s item they’re selling in the bookstore is amazing – it’s pretty cheap considering it weighs four pounds plus. (And Amazon is selling the hardback for $32.34 delivered.) It would seem to be a good way to get to know a bit about the most populous city in the most populous country in the world.
Or this, this video is a start.
See you there!
