The Shanghai Textile Museum is located at the original site of Shenxin No. 9 Textile Mill, which has a history of 130 years. It has three floors of exhibition halls, showing the historical changes of the textile industry in Shanghai. The exhibition hall is composed of one lobby and four pavilions, namely the preface hall, history hall, essence hall, popular science hall and special topic hall. The museum also displays bone needles that appeared in the late Paleolithic period, the Majiabang culture well reflecting the living conditions of ancient people in Shanghai 6000 years ago, as well as Hanfu and Hu clothing on the Silk Road in the Western Han Dynasty. The expensive exhibits in the museum are a set of imported teak furniture including a long table and 12 square chairs. It was used when Li Hongzhang and others planned to establish the Shanghai Machinery Weaving Bureau in 1878. The placement of Western-style tables and chairs, combined with the Hui-style full carvings of patterns such as Investiture of the Gods and The Peony Pavilion on the table legs and stool feet, is exactly the product of the time when European styles gradually spread to the east. Opening hours: Open from 09:30 to 16:00 from Tuesday to Sunday throughout the year; closed all day on Monday throughout the year; open from 09:30 to 16:00 on the Dragon Boat Festival. Service facilities: Luggage storage: Provide storage service.
