Traveler reviews
Llinos Evans
★★★★★3 months agoHeart-wrenching place where I learned the plight of people my ancestors probably knew...learned a lot, saw a lot. There's tour guides, or you can go on your own. I recommend quietly going through the rooms, and taking it all in. You're not going here for leisure, but history. ¥20 entry with WeChat and AliPay compatibility, but make sure to bring your passport number with you as a foreigner.

★★★★★Edited 6 months agoAn interesting and enlightening exhibition that tells the little-known story of the tens of thousands of Jewish refugees who fled Germany and Austria on the eve of World War II and found refuge in Shanghai. The wide exhibition describes, through many photos and authentic items, the background to this event and especially the life of the refugee community in terms of physical survival, daily life, cultural life, and more. The renovated museum holds a much larger and more interesting exhibition than the older museum held, so even if you visited the place in the past, there's much more to see now. Highly recommended!
