Construction on the Shanghai Museum started in 1950 and it was opened to the public in December 1952. The museum contains more than 112,000 Chinese cultural relics from the Old Stone Age to modern times, including bronze tools, calligraphy, paintings, pottery, porcelain, jade tools, stone carvings, Jiaguwen (inscriptions on tortoise shells or animal bones), imperial seals, ancient coins, silk embroidery, dyed fabrics, ivory sculptures and ethnic crafts. Many of the relics on display were unearthed in Shanghai and are considered among the best examples of their kind in China. The Museum was moved in 1959 from the Horse-Racing Club on Nanjing Xi Road to the People's Plaza, located at the intersection of Yan'an Dong Road and Henan Nan Road.
