I recently ventured out to Moganshan Lu, a small street in Shanghai’s newly prominent art district. M50 is the most famous collection of small galleries and exhibits, and Moganshan Lu is just outside. While M50 is full of brilliant works, Moganshan Lu has emerged as the street art equivalent. We had a great time exploring the area, and it was a nice reminder that Shanghai shares the same urban trends as all other world cities.
