The National Museum of China is located on the east side of Tiananmen Square, in the heart of Beijing. With a total of 200,000 square meters and 48 exhibition halls, it is the world's largest museum housed in a single building, and it is home to the largest collection of Chinese cultural relics in a single museum, with over 1 million pieces in its permanent collection.

These cultural relics include China's best bronzeware, Buddhist statues, porcelain, furniture and lacquerware, jade, coins, gold and silver items, stone carvings, silk fabrics, ancient texts, and other items rooted in China's long history, all laid out in chronological order to provide a convenient overview.
