The museum is more to be seen for its 1930s monumental interior architecture than for its art. The artworks in the 12 exhibit halls are certainly worthy of note, ranging from modern traditional oils to recent pop canvases, but they are overwhelmed by the fastidiously restored wood and marble interiors of this 1933 five-story neoclassical landmark. The clock tower, erected in 1933, marks the location of the original grandstand of 1863. After 1949, the building was used as the Shanghai Museum and the Shanghai Library. Today, in addition to the artwork, there is a classy American restaurant, Kathleen's 5, on the fifth floor

The temple draws from both the Pure Land and Chan traditions of Mahayana Buddhism. It was founded in 1882 with two jade Buddha statues imported to Shanghai from Burma by sea. These were a sitting Buddha (1.95 meters tall, 3 tons ), and a smaller reclining Buddha representing Buddha's death. The temple now also contains a much larger reclining Buddha made of marble, donated from Singapore, and visitors may mistake this larger sculpture for the original, smaller piece. There is a visitor services office adjacent to the southern entrance, and a Buddhist library is also on the premises.
