本届艺术展对公众免费开放,开放时间为上午10:30至下午5:00,周日除外。主体筒仓和附设的仓库均对外开放,地址是民生路3号民生路码头。



The silo, built more than two decades ago, was the city's major wharf for grain and sugar. When it opened, it was the largest silo in Asia and the most cutting-edge silo in the Far East. The wharf area will become a commercial and cultural zone, featuring art exhibitions, hotels and other facilities in both historic and newly built structures.

这座屹立在黄浦江畔的粮仓在二十多年前建成,是当时上海最大粮食和糖储备基地。成立之初,它曾经是全亚洲最大,也是远东地区最先进的粮仓。现在,民生路码头地区将转型为商业和文化综合体,一座座新老建筑也会承担起艺术展览、宾馆设施等不同功能。

 

Several escalators have been installed inside the silo to take visitors to the top of the structure. Apart from that, no other change has been made to the appearance of the silo, in order to protect its historic structure.

筒仓内安装了几座自动扶梯以供观众来到整座建筑的顶楼参观。除此之外,筒仓的整体结构没有任何变化,一切都以保护建筑原貌为前提。
