The original museum occupied three main buildings in the center, south, and north, used to display specimens of science, history, art and education.

Fifty years later, miniature garden displaying rooms, tea houses and other amusement facilities have been added to the big museum.

In the yard, there are plenty of trees and flowers accompanied by birds and other animals.

The historical remains mostly represent local culture from the ancient times to now.

The natural ones stand for not only the plants and animals in Nantong, but also in the whole country and the world.
