The museum boasts an eclectic collection that includes ancient bronze ware, pictorial bricks, ceramics, metal ware, scholarly accoutrements, traditional Chinese paintings and calligraphy, historical documents and rare books, local crafts, and modern art.
One of the most notable artifacts that you should not miss is the massive "zhuke" ding tripod (popularly known as the "grand ding tripod of Chu"), a vessel used in significant sacrificial rituals in ancient China. It was unearthed in 1933 from the tomb of the King of You (r. 237–228 BC) of the ancient state of Chu, located in Shou county, Anhui province. This tripod is so precious and historically significant that it was chosen as the prototype for the National Sacrificial Ding Tripod used at every memorial ceremony for the 1937 Nanjing Massacre since 2014.
The museum is also home to about 4,000 works of art by the world-renowned Chinese female artist Pan Yuliang (1895–1977), who, despite a humble origin and a poignant adolescence spent in a brothel, gained fame as the first Chinese woman to paint in the Western style.
