Shanghai Science & Technology Museum was the most popular museum in 2017, followed by Shanghai Natural History Museum and Shanghai Museum.

Nearly 4 million people visited the Science and Technology Museum last year, and 2.3 million made the trip to the natural history museum, the Shanghai Administration of Culture, Radio, Film & TV said yesterday.

Shanghai Museum attracted 2.1 million art enthusiasts last year, largely due to the three-month exhibition by the British Museum that alone attracted nearly 400,000 visitors, the administration said.
