The museum takes the heritage of Xingqing Palace in the Tang Dynasty as the background, and relies on a large number of fine three-colored wares, porcelains, silverware and other objects in the old site. This way, it vividly depicts the life scenes of the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, the new museum also showcases hunting during the Tang Dynasty, camel caravans on the Silk Road, and musical instrument performances and celebration entertainment at that time.
