The Power Station of Art（PSA）is located where the Pavilion of Future of the World Expo 2010 Shanghai was;
it is the first public museum of contemporary art in mainland China.

The building used to be the site of the Nanshi Power Plant, which was constructed in 1897. The main structure is 128 meters long, 70 meters wide and 50 meters high, and the complex covers an area of 31,088 square meters. The impressively soaring 165-meter-high chimney, made of reinforced concrete, bears witness to the ups and downs of modern industry in China, and points to the new historical opportunity and cultural creation across the Huangpu River, in Pudong. After renovation, the area of the structure will be enlarged to 41,200 square meters, and the exhibition area will be expanded from 9,000 to 15,000 square meters.

The Museum opened to the public on Oct 1, 2012. Situated on the right bank of the Huangpu River, it is only 4 kilometers away from the People’s Square (the political, commercial and cultural center of Shanghai),
and only a 15-minute’s walk from the metro station “South Xizang Road” of line 4 and 8.
