About Shanghai Railway Museum

The Shanghai Railway Museum is located at No. 200 Tianmu East Road, Jing'an District, Shanghai. It was built on the original site of the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway Shanghai Station (Laobei Station). The building was restored according to a 1:0.8 ratio based on the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway Shanghai Station, which was built and opened in 1909 and has a British classical architectural style. The museum was completed and opened in August 2004 on the occasion of the 55th anniversary of the founding of the Shanghai Railway Bureau. It is now a base for popular science education in Shanghai. The museum uses historical materials and objects as its main carrier to display the history of the Shanghai and East China Railways over more than 100 years since the railway entered China in the 1860s and 1870s.
