点评:I wasn’t expecting much from the World Expo Museum, as it’s not typically highlighted among Shanghai’s must-see attractions, but I was pleasantly surprised. The museum features two temporary exhibition spaces, including a modern exhibition and a William Morris exhibit, which I found particularly impressive.
The museum also houses 8 halls dedicated to the history of the World Expo, and they are done extremely well. What stood out to me was the focus on the lasting impact of Expo builds. While there’s often a lot of talk about the cost and new infrastructure required for the Olympic Games, the Expo’s constructions are often overlooked. These structures are much more substantial, and many of them continue to shape the landscapes of the host cities. There are city maps on display showing the new architecture built for each host city over the years.
Another fascinating section highlights the technological innovations introduced at the Expo, such as the typewriter, automated milking systems, and the modern classroom. There’s so much to see that by the end, it can be a bit overwhelming. Overall, the exhibition was thoughtfully curated and very well done.

博物馆还设有 8 个专门介绍世博会历史的展厅,它们做得非常好。让我印象深刻的是,它关注的是世博会建筑的持久影响。虽然人们经常谈论奥运会所需的成本和新基础设施,但世博会的建筑却常常被忽视。这些建筑更为重要,其中许多建筑继续塑造着主办城市的景观。展览中还展示了多年来为每个主办城市建造的新建筑。
另一个引人入胜的部分重点介绍了世博会上推出的技术创新,例如打字机、自动挤奶系统和现代教室。有太多东西可看,到最后可能会有点不知所措。总的来说,展览策划得很周到,做得非常好。
