Xiwang Huayuan Longtang Museum

Hidden on Fengxian Road, a small road close to the Shanghai Natural Museum, this is a unique Shanghai museum, free of charge. It shows the unique alley culture of Shanghai and the history of Xiwang Community. It is the first alley-themed exhibition hall in Shanghai and is worth a visit.

Xiwang Garden Alley Museum, currently the only alley museum in Shanghai, is very small, free to visit, the staff does not explain, take a temperature measurement + fill in personal information to enter the visit. Sundays and national holidays are not open, Monday to Saturday morning 9-12 afternoon 2-5 open. The exhibits will change, in fact, it will be more interesting and more intuitive to see the building after reading the introduction. The introduction said that this is an excellent historical building, clear water red brick coupon-style corridor, using arc coupons and semicircular coupons, under the coupons the simplified classical water brick columns, about three years of Qing Xuantong built in 1911. Colony-style porch house with Queen Anne style features. Decline arrangement

According to the article pushed by WeChat, the museum is the first alley museum in Shanghai, and the display inside is all about Shanghai alley. The alley museum is about 120 square meters, not big, and you can see the "pin" architectural model of Xiwang Community as soon as you enter the door. Three or five-plate clock, Phoenix sewing machine, card tape recorder, old-fashioned telephone, typewriter, BP machine, etc., as well as many styles of food tickets, meat tickets, monthly tickets for the bus... The glass cabinet of the alley museum is placed in a variety of old Shanghai objects of different ages. It is said that most of the books on the shelf are about the history of the Haipai alley culture. There are also a variety of comic books (also known as small people's books). But it is a pity that the management here seems to be afraid of what the visitors do, and has been monitoring, so that I am not in the mood to read the bookshelf carefully, so I took a circle of photos. There is a record of Zhou Xu on the old record machine, but it is not playing. The experience is not very good. Many old objects in the introduction have not been seen, I don't know what the situation is.

This is a well-preserved museum about the alley record

It is the first museum in Shanghai about the alley. It is very unique and has many old objects and is worth visiting.
