Other exhibitions scheduled at Shanghai Museum this year include arts made from rhinoceros horn, a treasured material banned in the modern age, the art of Chinese fans, paintings, calligraphy and ceramics donated to the Shanghai Museum, as well as Chinese lacquerware from the collection of the Tokyo National Museum and other institutions in Japan.

Shanghai Museum celebrated the opening of its east wing in 2024. The new Shanghai Museum East, together with its venue on People's Square, received a record-breaking 6.57 million visitors last year. This makes the institution one of the most popular museums in the world, according to Tang Shifen, the Party secretary of Shanghai Museum.

The ongoing exhibition On Top of the Pyramid: The Civilization of Ancient Egypt has been visited by 1.25 million people since its opening on July 19, more than any other touring exhibition of Egyptian art in the world. Shanghai Museum expects that by its closure on Aug 17 this year, the exhibition will break more records and become one of the most popular museum shows in the world.
