All about animation
The Pixar: 25 Years of Animation exhibition comes to China for the first time with more than 400 exhibits selected from the archives of Pixar Animation Studios.
The highlight is a Toy-Story-themed zoetrope, a popular 19th-century proto-cinematic display, on which a sequence of stills roll rapidly, producing the effect of continuous activity - the earliest form of animation.
9 am-5 pm, until Oct 30. Shanghai Museum of Contemporary Art, People's Park, 231 Nanjing Xilu. 021-6327-9900
