Bank of Shanghai Museum

The former Shanghai Bank Museum of the Bank of Shanghai was officially opened in 2000 and is the first financial industry museum in the country founded by the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. The exhibition focuses on China's modern bank development history, and the panoramic view reproduces China's century-old financial winds and clouds, and collects China's deep financial culture.

Starting on the second floor, several floors, the focus is on the complete display of China's modern financial history, all kinds of physical objects are dazzling, many varieties are the first time to see. I was attracted to the passbooks of rich and strong, the early stocks of the Republic of China, the red banknotes issued in the red base, and the notice of appointment issued by the State Council after the founding of New China, because this was seen in the cousin. The exhibition hall also restored the scenes of Qianzhuang, pawnshop, foreign bank, foreign currency exchange office and other scenes, which made people feel immersive. In addition, the gate of the vault is also to be particularly seen. The vault gate here seems to be more stylish than the vault gate of the Bank of East Asia Museum. Finally, it’s a bit strange. I have never seen a Ctrip review that I have never seen a POI with thousands of reviews. The problem is that the museum has been temporarily closed for several months. I wonder how so many text reviews without photos are written. Will it include the number of articles written by the robot?

It feels completely different from when I used to save money here. Now the Bank Museum has restored the original style of the building, with high ceilings and beautiful decorations. There are few tourists who come here, and you can watch it slowly. I went last autumn and there were fewer people. The first floor is a constantly changing exhibition hall. From time to time, there are various special exhibitions. Before I went, I wanted to see if there was information about the Central Bank of the Republic of China that my grandfather had worked. As a result, I saw a "Central Bank Co-author" in the exhibition hall on the first floor. There was something like this in history. Afterwards, I managed to find the 1931, 1936, 1944, 1946 versions of the central bank records, and found the name of my grandfather. This also confirms the grandfather's memoirs, who worked for half a lifetime in the central bank, and with the empirical evidence available, the reliability of the memoir is reflected in the authenticity of the memoir

When I was a child, I lived in Lane 239, Ximen Road, Tianheli, and went to school at the Second Primary School on Hefei Road. The place where I gathered before school every day was at the entrance of Meilanfang on Huangpi South Road, so I had to go along Huangpi South Road every day to pass the Industrial and Commercial Bank at the corner of Fuxing Middle Road. At that time, the ICBC building and the Great Wall cinema next door were considered very good buildings. They were surrounded by Shikumen houses built in the 1920s and 1930s. They also had a little Japanese currency in the ICBC, and they felt that the place was very small. Last year, it was found that it was changed to a bank museum run by the Industrial and Commercial Bank. It is said that Jiang Jianqing, the former president of the Industrial and Commercial Bank, was particularly interested in the history of the financial industry and established this museum under his efforts. The ticket is five yuan, which is just meaning, it is worth going once. There is also Jiang Jianqing's Dictionary of Modern Chinese Banking Institutions on the front desk on the first floor. It is a must for professional researchers.

Although the bank museum is not big, the collection is quite rich and worth seeing
