I recently went to the Shanghai Auto Museum, and I have a few photos to share here :)
First of all, the way the museum is laid out is really cool. On the 1st to 3rd floor, each floor has a big exhibition area, and there are big ramps curved around the edge of the building, to get between the floors. These ramps have cars parked along them. Seeing these ramps, I imagined how they must have had to drive and/or drag all these cars up these ramps when setting up the museum.
When you walk in on the 1st floor, the first exhibit you see is this one, about the history of vehicles, dating back to ancient times. These are just scale models in this section, but the rest of the cars in the museum are real.

Each car had a sign on the ground in front of it, which said the year and model. The signs were in both Chinese and English, and the English was actually decent, which is nice.
Also, wow all the cars were so shiny and clean! They must have spent a long time repainting all of them.
It had the normal things you see in kids' play areas in Shanghai- ball pit, little cars for the kids to scoot around on, dress-up clothes (a lot of little firefighters and traffic police running around in there), a kitchen full of plastic food, etc- but also had a very strong car theme. Like, the ball pit aesthetic was something like the inside of an engine. And there were little racetracks with toy cars on them.
