Come to find more surprises. The Wenbo Hall has many things that the museum owners have found from everywhere, from photos of old Shanghai to Western clocks, from piglets with four postures to "bring in wealth" to bamboo slips with traditional Chinese characters, and from the bottom of a pot. A teapot that won’t leak even when you pour water into it? It can be said that there are constantly new and unexpected collections here that frequently stimulate your vision. No one knows what the next one will be.
The Shanghai Hall next door seems to be an old Shanghai small department store. From hand-cranked telephones to large cigarette packaging boxes that look like shoe boxes, from Chairman Mao badges to various language versions The Little Red Book, you can even find pots and pans from decades ago.
