West Bund Art & Design

Shanghai’s principal international art-and-design fair anchors a wider week of museum exhibitions, gallery programmes and collecting along the West Bund.

Venue

Where to plan around
West Bund, Xuhui District
Access
Ticketing and detailed daily hours are released by the fair. Museum and gallery programmes along the West Bund require separate admission.

Why it is here

West Bund shows the Chinese art market in its own institutional and urban setting. International galleries arrive into a district where private museums, public investment and local collectors have built a cultural corridor rather than an isolated fairground.

Plan it well

Stay near the former French Concession or Xuhui and treat the riverfront museums as a continuous route. Confirm ticket windows close to travel, as detailed public access is published later than the fair dates.
