Overview

The Art Museum of Pudong (MAP) is located in the core area of Shanghai's Lujiazui riverfront, starting construction on September 26, 2017, and officially opening to the public in July 2021.

The MAP is invested, built, and operated by the Lujiazui Group and designed by Jean Nouvel (AJN), with international art exhibition and exchange as the main focus and domestic art exhibition as well, highlighting the four major functions of exhibition, aesthetic education, cultural creation and international exchange, dedicated to building a new landmark of international cultural venues and an important platform for international art exchange in Shanghai.

The material used in the MAP, Shandong white marble, outlines the white territory, whether it is the exterior walls, rooftops, bridges, gardens, or interior floors and walls, this stone is used, but through different polishing methods to build a different texture.

When entering the interior of the museum, "suprematism" is always present. The white walls are like paper, creating pure geometric forms, black straight lines, diagonal lines, and cross lines.

MAP is a 39,724-square-meter building with four floors above ground and two underground, including 13 exhibition halls of various sizes. In addition to the two "mirror halls" facing the Bund, the "X Gallery", which runs 30 meters across the four floors, is also a feature.

Exhibitions & Events

From 22 December 2025 to 3 May 2026, Pudong Art Museum proudly presents the major Picasso exhibition. Jointly organised by Pudong Art Museum and Musée Picasso Paris, this exhibition is presented in collaboration with British designer Paul Smith. The exhibition features over 80 masterpieces including Reading, Bull's Head, Paul Rooys as a Clown, Child Playing with Toy Trucks, and The Bullfight: The Death of the Matador. The exhibition features over 80 authentic masterpieces spanning Picasso's entire career, including oil paintings, charcoal drawings, pencil sketches, sculptures, watercolours, reliefs, prints, and ceramics. These diverse mediums offer a multidimensional narrative of the genius artist's extraordinary life.

From 13 December 2025, the Pudong Art Museum will collaborate with the world-renowned Louvre Museum in France to present the exhibition. This marks the Louvre's inaugural exhibition in Shanghai and represents the largest-scale presentation of its works ever staged in China. Spanning the 16th to 19th centuries and traversing Asia, Africa and Europe, the exhibition presents approximately 300 treasures from the Louvre's collections across three thematic sections. These encompass ceramics, jewellery, jade, glass, metalwork, carpets, calligraphy, paintings, sculptures and wood carvings – representing diverse key media within Indian, Iranian and Ottoman art. Notably, several works have never been publicly displayed at the Louvre or in any other exhibition since their acquisition. This exhibition marks their inaugural public unveiling. Drawing upon the Louvre's vast collections, it magnificently showcases the dazzling pinnacles and outstanding achievements of artistic creation within the Indian, Iranian, and Ottoman civilisations during a specific historical period. The exhibition commences with selections from the collection of France's ‘Sun King,’ Louis XIV. Organised into three sections—‘The Splendour of the Mughal Empire,’ ‘The Iranian Cultural World: From the Safavid to the Qajar Dynasties,’ and ‘The Opulence of the Ottoman World’—it guides visitors through an epic narrative spanning four centuries and multiple continents. The exhibition is once again designed by the renowned French designer Cécile Degos, who previously created the major Orsay exhibition ‘The Birth of Modern Art’.
