New Jackie Chan Film Art Museum in Shanghai

On July 8th, 2008, Jackie Chan attended a ceremony held to inaugurate the construction of the Jackie Chan Film Art Museum in Shanghai.

Jackie Chan’s legendary career will be archived in the new museum with Chan handpicking the location for it. The museum, which will be named after him, will be in the Changfeng Ecology Commercial District in Shanghai’s Putuo District and will largely be renovated from old factory buildings. When completed on October 1 next year, it will take up about 3,100 square meters.

Visitors will be able to retrace Chan’s footsteps from Hong Kong to Hollywood, and navigate through detailed showpieces of Chan from being a Chinese icon, a kung-fu megastar to a charity devotee.

Also on display will be some of Chan’s film awards, as well as costumes and props he has used.
