Looks can be deceiving

The Museum of Art Pudong may lack the 'wow' factor of nearby structures but it is much more than initially meets the eye, Zhang Kun reports.

The museum has a total of 13"white box" showrooms, which give visitors more freedom to see different shows in their chosen order and pace. Other amenities include a cafe, an art shop, a library, an education center, a roof garden and a pedestrian path connected to the public sightseeing platform along the Huangpu River. According to Chen, these features intended to make the experience more convenient and pleasant for visitors.

"People can stroll around the museum structure unobstructed,"Chen says. "Nothing keeps people outside, and no vehicle affects their safety. Standing in the roof garden, people can appreciate the urban landscape all around them."

Touted as a museum for the future, MAP is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities that allow it to showcase the most precious artworks and cultural relics from around the world, Chen adds.
