The new branch is a university-based museum focusing on the humanities, social sciences, history, and art and features four unique exhibitions. These include a selection of paintings and calligraphy from the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) to the modern era, over 180 bronze artifacts, and more than 140 artifacts made of ceramic, jade, bronze, lacquer, and other materials. The exhibitions creatively blend cinematic elements, martial arts visuals, and the stories behind the relics, offering visitors a unique cultural experience.
