Shanghai Sculpture Space

Built in the early 20th century, the warehouse was originally a steelmaking factory that had long stood unused before developers recognized its potential. Under the leadership of CPC Branch of Shanghai and the municipal government, the former No.10 Steel Plant of Shanghai Steel Company was finally chosen as the site for Shanghai Sculpture Space that is located at 570 West Huaihai Road, Shanghai.

Shanghai Sculpture Space covers an area of about 50,000 square meters, comprising the Urban Sculpture Center, the Sculpture Plaza and the support facilities. Currently, a total area of 10,000 square meters of the architecture is open to the public, including 6,000 square meters of chamber public art exhibition space; also open to the public is the Sculpture Plaza with an area of 15,000 square meters including 10,000 square meters of open air display space. According to the plan, the site and its neighboring region will gradually become a public art center with the most dynamics in the urban area upon the completion of the construction of Shanghai Sculpture Space.
