It is aimed to collect modern and contemporary classic works of art. Thus, there are dozens of categories including porcelain, cloisonne, jade, calligraphy and painting, Suzhou embroidery, clay pot, to name a few. Besides the exhibition, visitors can enjoy the views on both sides of Huangpu River in the open-air zone of the F2 Exhibition Hall of the Museum.

By now, the Museum is trying to apply the most advanced VR tech and AR tech to collect important exhibits and offer online exhibitions in a bid to serve the public at home. In the future, it may draw support from riverside night landscapes to introduce the Night Art Museum.
