Posters provide window into 'cultural revolution'

On a recent Saturday night, I did some moon gazing by the Huangpu, Shanghai's arterial river, and although I couldn't sight any werewolf as part of my lunar fantasy, I almost drowned in a sea of Chinese tourists at the Bund.

The following morning I decided to spend my remaining Mid-Autumn festival weekend far from crowds. I picked a place near the heart of the city to go underground - quite literally.

The museum of propaganda art is located in the basement of a routine housing community on the leafy Huashan Road.
