AbstractThe real pride of People's Square is the Shanghai Museum - a five-story temple to China's peerless cultural history. The state provided the bulk of the funding for the $69 million facility, which was completed in 1994. Due to open on 12 October 1996, the museum will house more than 120,000 relics and pieces of art, though not all will be on display at the same time.
