The exhibition is divided into three parts to break the limitations of a monotonous relics exhibition.

The exhibition shows the social composition of the Ming dynasty panoramically in its own words and reflects the clues and characteristics of the Ming dynasty's development with events introduced by relics and history narrated by stories.
