The Little White House | Shanghai Museum of Arts and Crafts

🏳 A must-visit place in Shanghai, it's really a series of 'it's a waste not to go', young artists, let's go‼
ㅤ-
🏳 The Shanghai Museum of Arts and Crafts looks like a castle, it is a typical example of French late Renaissance architecture. Does any buddy know what the column style in picture 3⃣️ is called, please tell me in the comments!
ㅤ-
🏳 The entire exterior of the Little White House is white, the main part of the middle is a cylindrical arc protruding outward, the overall architecture is symmetrical, the lines are prominent, the floors are distinct, forming three horizontal sections, reflecting the Renaissance emphasis on horizontal lines, opposing traditional vertical lines, giving a sense of solemnity and balance.

🫧 First floor: Folk Art Exhibition Hall and studios as well as shops.
🫧 Second floor: Sculpture Exhibition Hall and studios (including jade carving, ivory carving, lacquer carving, inkstone carving, porcelain carving, bamboo carving, ivory fine carving, rosewood small carving, gold and silver ornaments, etc.). And the rooms on the east and west sides of the entrance on the second floor, one is teak-colored Chinese style, the other is pink Western style, very interesting.
🫧 Third floor: Weaving and Embroidery Exhibition Hall and studios (including Gu embroidery, velvet embroidery, drama costumes, etc.).
