Shanghai Sculpture Space: Red Town


One of my favourite things about Shanghai is the public's embrace of the artistic and cultural. I think it's something do with the history of the city and its many influences over the years.


The Shanghai Sculpture Space is a newly developed area for sculptural arts. There are public works for all to see and interact with and there is no admission to this little paradise within the city. From the looks of it during my trip in 2010, it is pretty brand new, not all the buildings are filled with tenants yet. But it is definitely completed enough to warrant a good exploration.









Aside from the many and ever changing public displays, there are small cafes, restaurants, art galleries and outlet shops in this center. I reckon this place will be crawling with tourists in a few years.
