Shanghai Natural History Museum Main Window

I took this image from the 3rd floor of the Shanghai Natural History Museum, which is located in Jing'an Sculpture Park. To get to this view, take the elevator up to the 3rd floor and then turn left. You can't miss it! By Metro: - Closest Station: Natural History Museum Station (Line 13) - Head southeast on Datian Rd and the destination will be on your right Address: Shanghai Natural History Museum 510 Beijing Xi Lu, near Chengdu Bei Lu.

You can photograph from inside the museum year round.

I highly recommend going on a sunny day — around 2 or 3pm — when the bright, mid-day sun shines through the window structure, creating beautiful shadows against the museum's interior.

I chose to be parallel to the structure and stand on the third floor to get this shot. From this angle, you'll have a perfect view of the entire window — from floor to ceiling.

Experiment with different perspectives. The museum is five stories high, so head to different floors and find your own unique view point.

It's rare that the museum will ever be empty, so use the visitors to your advantage. Having them in your photo adds a human element!

Explore the rest of the museum. There are exhibitions, a 4D theater and a discovery center. There's so much to see at this location!
