Location & How to Get There

Heisei Gallery is tucked inside the famous M50 Creative Park in Shanghai’s Putuo District. The address is Room 4A107, No. 50 Mogan Shan Road—easy to remember, right? This area along Mogan Shan Road has always been a hub for artists, and Heisei Gallery sits right in the heart of it. To get here, take the metro to Line 3 or 4 and hop in a taxi—it’s just a short ride. Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, bike around the Suzhou River nearby and stop by the park for a creative break.

This isn’t your average art space. Heisei Gallery focuses on non-traditional prints, which means you’ll see bold, experimental works that push boundaries. Even if you’re not an art expert, the pieces here are fun to explore. The gallery feels like a hidden gem: small enough to feel cozy, but packed with energy. Local artists often drop by, so you might even catch a casual chat or mini workshop during your visit.

The Vibe of M50 Creative Park

The whole M50 area is a converted factory turned artsy paradise. Heisei Gallery shares the space with studios, quirky shops, and cafes. Walking through the park, you’ll spot old industrial buildings covered in colorful murals—perfect for Instagram photos. The riverside location adds a chill vibe, especially at sunset. It’s like stepping into a living gallery where every corner has a story.

If you love art that’s different, this place is for you. Students, artists, or anyone curious about modern prints will dig it. The staff are super friendly and love explaining the work, so don’t hesitate to ask questions. Plus, the exhibitions change often, so you could visit multiple times and never get bored. Pro tip: Art students, take notes—you’ll leave inspired!

Extra Tips for Your Visit

  • Timing: Check opening hours online (they’re usually open daily).
  • Food: The park has cute cafes, but grab a coffee to-go and sip it while browsing art.
  • Souvenirs: Buy a small print or handmade craft from the gallery—prices are fair, and it’s a unique memento.
  • Photos: The gallery’s interior is sleek and minimalist, so your art pics will look sharp. Just be sure to ask if photography’s allowed first!

Shanghai has tons of museums, but Heisei Gallery feels personal. It’s not about stuffy rules—it’s about connecting with art in a relaxed way. Whether you’re sketching inspiration, snapping photos, or just soaking in the creativity, it’s a must-visit if you’re into offbeat culture. Trust me, even non-art lovers will walk away thinking, “Wow, that was cool!”
