Shanghai Tushan Bay Museum was built on the original site of the Tushan Bay Orphanage which generated Tushan Bay culture. It was established by the Catholic Church in Xujiahui, which also founded a handicraft factory, that produced paintings, sculptures, prints, woodcuts, and works of metal. With many crafts originated there, Tushan Bay is also known as “the cradle of Chinese Western painting”, where famous painters such as Ren Bonian, Liu Haisu, and Xu Beihong gave lessons.
The museum was opened on "Museum Day" in June 2010, with the "Chinese Archway" as the treasure of the museum, displaying a historical picture of cultural and artistic exchanges between China and the West involving rich objects and historical materials.
土山湾文化则源于1864 年教会在这块土地上创设的土山湾孤儿院。在抚养孤儿之余,还创办了工艺品厂,绘画、雕塑、印刷、木刻、金工等无所不包,很多新工艺都发源于此。土山湾也被称为“中国西洋画的摇篮”,任伯年、刘海粟、徐悲鸿都曾在这里任教。上海土山湾博物馆建在孤儿院原址上,2010年6月“博物馆日”开馆,镇馆之宝为“中国牌楼”。全面展现中西文化艺术交流的历史画面,有丰富的实物与史料。
