Opened by a Taiwanese music video director, Plum is a small gallery inside Jing’an Villa (靜安別墅) dedicated to exhibiting offbeat and unique art. Also serves coffee, tea, plum soda, and wine. A cute place worth visiting.
The exhibition theme changes every 1 or 2 months. Currently, Plum is having an exhibition titled “Post-Ready-Made”, which showcases works from Japanese and Taiwanese contemporary furniture designers Noriko Daishima, Mercy Yeh and Nicole Teng.
Plum serves coffee, tea, plum soda, and wine. If you do choose to have a drink here, you can sit on any of the chairs/sofas/stools displayed in the gallery, all of which you can purchase and take home with.
A small corner with various items for sale – cards, book covers, notebooks, art books, etc.
While you are here, also drop by other quirky spots in Jing’an Villa like Hypo and GZ cafe.
I really love your blog! Its informative and insightful esp for visitors like me who love coffee and art. Unfortunately plum gallery is no longer there :( come back to shanghai and write and shoot more!
Plum gallery closed? That’s so sad to hear! Yes I hope to be back in Shanghai soon to explore all the new places that have opened up lately :)
