BAOSHAN International Folk Art Museum is the key project of intangible culture heritage in Shanghai and attaches a great emphasis on exchanges with international folk artists.
The design of the museum is based on the shape of a Chinese knot, an auspicious folk symbol.
The museum is located at the junction of Hutai Road and the Outer Ring Road, just a short distance away from the park.
Too tired to walk? Fear not, Gucun Park has organized electric buggies to transport visitors from Gate 1 to the museum.
This year, during the park's cherry blossom festival, there are six contemporary exhibitions of various characteristics of ethnic culture.
These include Nepali culture, international mask, kites and personal collections of Chinese tea sets. Full tickets are 30 yuan (US$4.78) each.
However, a free exhibition is also a highlight. "Photographs of Long-gone Figures and Historical Relics of Old Shanghai" is being staged in collaboration with Shanghai History Museum.
In more than 160 years as an international city, Shanghai has been a melting pot of people from around the world and this exhibition provides an authentic view of that.
Through old photographs and other items, visitors are able to get a glimpse of the old lives of Shanghai locals and their relation with Western culture.
Besides, an exhibition of photographs by Zhu Xiuzhu in the museum which opened last Thursday is perfectly matched with the cherry blossom festival this year.
It features more than 70 works by the artist on the theme of flowers, including peony, lotus and more.
