media - Find the hundred musea in Shanghai
Shanghai historical museumOf course I know the sensational Shanghai historical museum and I would be able to come up with half a dozen other musea of different qualities, but I was a bit surprise by this article in the China Daily announcing that my city would open this month museum no. 100. Where are all these museums?
Target for 2010 is actually 150 museum, but what if nobody knows where they are?
Statistics from the municipal Civil Affairs Bureau, show that on average each year Shanghai will see more than 20 new museums opening their doors .We know the story of the sex museum that was chased away by narrow-minded government officials, but where are all these others?
Insiders say that of the 100 museums due to be open by the end of the year, more than 50 per cent are publicly owned and funded by the local government.Must be a kind of state secret or they have no money to tell people where they actually are.
