The museum is divided into three floors, primarily consisting of the first floor’s exhibition halls for the primitive society to the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the Five Dynasties, as well as the Canal Hall. The second floor features exhibition halls for the Song Dynasty, the Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties, a section dedicated to century-old shops, and a temporary exhibition hall. The third floor is home to the stamp exhibition hall and the calligraphy and painting hall.
