Long Museum West Bund
Private museum founded by collectors Liu Yiqian and Wang Wei at 3398 Longteng Avenue on Shanghai’s West Bund Culture Corridor, opened March 2014 in an Atelier Deshaus conversion that preserves a former coal hopper. Collection and programme span traditional Chinese art, revolutionary-era work, and global contemporary art; Wang Wei serves as museum director. Summer hours typically run Tuesday-Thursday 10:00-18:00 and Friday-Sunday 10:00-21:00; winter hours close earlier; closed Mondays; free admission on the first Tuesday of each month excluding special exhibitions. Confirm tickets and current shows on thelongmuseum.org; Metro Middle Longhua Road (Lines 7/12) plus a riverside walk is the practical approach.

While you're there
Longteng Avenue sits on the West Bund cultural belt. Give the vaults a half-day without stacking another museum the same afternoon unless you have a car. Confirm Monday closures and special-exhibition ticketing before you leave the Bund hotels.
Pro Tip: Arrive for opening on weekend special-exhibition days; the coal-hopper plaza photographs better in morning light, and ticket lines thicken after brunch.

- Pair with
- A separate day for Power Station of Art if you are doing the full West Bund spine.
