本书为上海民间收藏本，以英文的形式向国内外读者介绍了上海的古物收藏，其中有私人的50件古物珍藏品，虽然私人的收集是有限的，但他们以对古物的狂热来搜集，并在他们自己家中建立了展览房间，供大家欣赏。是一件很有意义的事。

此外还介绍了上海5个博物馆和5个古董交易市场。虽然里面的这些古物不如国家博物馆里的出名，但还是很有收藏价值。

This book introduces to readers over 50 private collections，five trade museumsand five antique markets in Shanghai.

The private collections are small in scale，established in their own homes by collectors with an enthusiasm for curios．Generally，the display rooms serve not just as display space but as living rooms too.The owners have started display rooms in their homes because they want to share collecting experiences and discuss them with other people and，in so doing，perhaps becoming friends．

These collections are not as famous as those of national museums．but they are highly specialized and the atmosphere is warm，comfortable and easy.You may sip a cup of tea while you visit and，provided you get the owner’s consent，you may touch the exhibits and consult with the owner．
