This three-story museum in Xintiandi offers a trip back in time to 1920s and 1930s Shanghai with its presentation of a traditional shikumen home, with several rooms furnished with furniture from the time. The shikumen is a traditional Shanghainese style of architecture that first appeared in the 19th century, and later gained popularity in the early part of the 20th century. Strolling through this structure will take only 20 minutes and provides a brief respite from the hustle, bustle, and overt commercial tourism outside in Xintiandi. Look for the hanging clothes, wicker baskets, ladies' makeup on the powder tables, and old photos in frames that give the house an authentic, lived-in feel. It's worth a stop if you're in the area.
