EntranceEnter through the main Bund 18 door into the atrium and go up to the 2nd floor (no separate street door)
WeChat official account 上海久事美术馆 or mini-program 久事文传 — needed for ticketed shows; free shows usually walk in
Small gallery, short visit — best chained into a Bund walk; the three Jiushi venues (new main museum at Bund No. 1, this space at No. 18, the salon at 230 Beijing East Road) all sit within a 15-minute walk.
How to visit
- It's on the 2nd floor, not the top — one flight up from the atrium; '6th floor' is stale info from when the main Jiushi museum was at Bund No. 27. Don't mix them up.
- The main Jiushi Art Museum moved into Bund No. 1 (Asia Building, floors 2-3) on 31 March 2026 — go to No. 1 for the flagship; this is the No. 18 satellite space.
- Don't leave right after the show: the building holds upscale restaurants and bars, and the rooftop terrace bars are a classic Lujiazui-skyline vantage point.
- Check the official WeChat channel for the current show and price (the 2026 Croisements show was free, the 2025 Gaudí show ticketed); some travel listings say 'open daily' but it closes Mondays, and there can be gaps between exhibitions.
Did you know
- The 1923 Chartered Bank building is by Palmer & Turner — same firm as the Rockbund Art Museum's Royal Asiatic Society building; after the bank left in 1955 it was renamed Chunjiang Building.
- Restored 2002-04 by Italy's Kokaistudios, earning the 2006 UNESCO Asia-Pacific heritage Award of Distinction — the benchmark case for commercial restoration of Bund buildings.
