The museum was previously located on the Liulichang Street, with mostly exhibits of ceramic, domestic furniture, jade, lacquer, metalwork, closionner enamel, classical window and door, and contemporary oil painting.

Furniture from the Ming and Qing periods in many ways represent the culmination of Chinese furniture-making skills, and they have various different features.

Influenced by China's burgeoning foreign trade and advanced craftsmanship techniques, furniture of the Qing dynasty period turned to rich and intricate ornamentation, along with coordinated engraved designs.

The traditional craftsmanship exhibition includes jade, gold and silver and copper artworks, cloisonne enamel, lacquer, and precious wood with the ancient technique of the 'hundred treasures inlay'.

With prior appointment, the museum offers authentication with a price on objects such as ceramics and wood furniture.
