I made a reservation and visited the Shanghai Telecom Museum. The museum is located on Yan'an East Road, adjacent to the Bund. It is an old western-style building with a sense of age. The museum displays the objects of Shanghai Telecom one by one. They tell us the difficulty of the development of telecommunications. The exhibition starts from the third floor, consisting of six exhibition areas: telegraph communication, local telephone communication, long-distance telephone communication, wireless communication, comprehensive collection, and temporary exhibition area. The visit is free, but you need to make a reservation in advance. It is only open on Saturdays and Sundays.

Located at No. 34 Yan'an East Road, Shanghai, this neoclassical style building was built in 1922. It was originally the headquarters of the Great Northern Telegraph Company of Denmark, which carried out telecommunication business in China. Now, the 2nd and 3rd floors of the building are the Shanghai Telecom Museum. The museum tells the history and development process of Shanghai's telecommunications, with many interesting stories. It's worth a visit.

🌟Building Overview: The Shanghai Telecommunications Museum building was invested and built by the Danish Great North Telegraph Company and designed by the British New Rui and Foreign Company. It is a Western-style building with a brick-concrete structure, covering an area of 1562 square meters and a building area of about 4060 square meters. ❤Architectural Style: The building is in the style of late French Renaissance, discarding overly complex textures and decorations, simplifying lines, and appearing more concise and pure. The facades of the bottom two floors are veneered with stone, and the upper part uniformly uses water-brushed stone. The building is symmetrical on both sides with the main entrance as the vertical axis. The entire building is divided into three different styles of facades from the first to the second floor, the third to the sixth floor, and the seventh floor and above. The exterior wall is veneered with smooth stones, forming a building appearance dominated by horizontal lines, making the entire building elegant, symmetrical, coordinated, and stable. 👍Exterior Highlights: The facade renovation uses crystal clear exterior wall paint to brush the walls, the facade windows are replaced with black aluminum alloy windows according to the original style, the wooden railings are replaced and renovated, and stainless steel flagpoles and light boxes are added to the main facade and entrance. In addition, the main entrance and the north gate have designed cast copper decorative glass doors, and the positions of the two doors and windows on the north facade have been adjusted. The roof of the building (fifth floor) in the middle has been added and renovated, using sandwich panels to make a black iron roof, and the windows are in the style of old tiger windows. ✅Lobby Style: The lobby of the building uses gold, yellow, dark red and other common main colors in European style, mixed with white, making the color look bright and generous. And some local Celtic patterns, patterns and Viking decorative symbols reveal a strong Nordic color. 🌟First Floor Lobby: The first floor lobby is more gorgeous, with light white marble floors and wall columns, gold-framed ceilings, and exquisite chandeliers. The first floor also has a bronze statue of Edward Swenson, the first general manager of the Great North Telegraph Company. 👍Special Highlights: Among the buildings on the Bund, this building is not large but has a unique style. The biggest highlight of the building is that the top of the building has a black dome roof with Rococo art style at both ends, forming a strong contrast and bright contrast with the white wall. This has also become the iconic decoration of this building. ❤Museum Overview: The Telecommunications Museum is on the third and fourth floors. It is divided into six exhibition halls: Telegraph Communication, City Telephone Communication, Long-distance Telephone Communication, Wireless Communication, Comprehensive Collection, and Temporary Exhibition Hall. The total area is about 2500 square meters. 👍Main Exhibition Area: It shows the development process of Shanghai from the initial telegraph to modern wireless communication according to the timeline.
