Hunan Sanxiang history and culture is located on the second floor of the building, where many Sanxiang history and culture are displayed. Most of them are bronzes and porcelain. These porcelains, full of colors, and decorated with poems and poems, started the first firing of porcelains.

Mawangdui Han Tomb Series is located on the third floor of the building, where more than 3,000 precious cultural relics unearthed from the three Han tombs of Mawangdui are displayed, most of which are well preserved. Among them, there is a plain yarn garment, as thin as cicada's wings and with long sleeves, weighing only 49 grams, which shows how high the weaving technology reached in that year.
