New Shanghai museum fetes Japanese architect

A new art museum in Shanghai celebrated its opening with an exhibition featuring its designer, Japanese architect Tadao Ando, in late December.

The Pearl Art Museum is located on the eighth floor of a new mall named The Aegean Place on Wuzhong Road in Shanghai's Hongqiao area.

The museum is fused with a bookstore in a 4,800-square-meter, egg-shaped space atop the commercial building.
