醉白池是中国历史名园、国家AAAA级旅游景区 、上海五大古典园林之一,占地5公顷。原址为宋代松江进士朱之纯的私家宅园——谷阳园,明万历年间大书画家、礼部尚书董其昌曾在此觞咏挥毫。清顺治至康熙年间(1644年-1722年),工部郎中、著名画家顾大申在旧园址上重建,效仿宋宰相韩琦仰慕白居易而将此园命名为“醉白池”。
园景以一泓池水为中心,四周古木葱茏,步移景异,满园似画,素有“春访牡丹夏观荷、秋来赏菊冬瞻梅”之趣。园内楼堂亭榭,曲径通幽,保存着明代柱颊山房、疑舫、读书堂,清代池上草堂、宝成楼、雪海堂、雕花厅等亭台楼阁;收藏有元代赵孟頫书法真迹《前、后赤壁赋》石刻、清代《云间邦彦画像》碑刻等艺术瑰宝;园内悬挂的当代书法名家题字匾联更是不计其数,人文艺术与中华造园艺术在这里积淀、融合和传承,是上海千年历史文脉的延续。
