Shanghai History Museum was founded in 1983 and formally open to the public on May 27,1984. Through its collection of more than 1,300 pieces of cultural relics, literature and pictures, it presents a holistic picture of the long history of Shanghai from remote antiquity to the liberation of the city in 1949.
In 1991, the Shanghai History Museum reopened to the public with an entirely new look. Its core exhibition was the "display of the history of the urban development of modern shanghai" which displayed more than 1,500 cultural relics, falling into six parts, revealing completely the vicissitudes Shanghai saw in a hundred years since it opened as a port for foreign trade in 1843 to its liberation in 1949. The display covered the establishment and extinction of the Shanghai international settlement and French concession, the gradual improvement of urban appearance, the surge in economics, the increasingly flourishing culture, the unique folk custom and tradition of immigration society and the political changes over a hundred years. It was placed in the first batch of "juvenile education base" of Shanghai.

I have been to Shanghai History Museum a few times and I have always enjoyed it. The best part of this museum are the beautiful panoramic models of life in Shanghai during the last 200-odd years. You can see the whole museum in about an hour, and the English information is good. It is well worth a visit.
