The Folk Museum features exhibition areas about ancient and modern ethnic groups' customs, leading industrial workshops and the latest research on the traditional cultures of Northeast minorities.

The museum, covering 31,000 square meters, exhibits the habitat, development, daily life, and traditions of ancient ethnicities, and research results regarding their history.

More than 40,000 collections are displayed in the museum helping visitors know more about ancient NE cultural groups.

A traditional Northeast Chinese courtyard consisting of a principal room facing south, and two wing-rooms facing east and west are set in the main hall.

On the second floor, a corridor is decorated as an old street, with a memorial archway in the front and all kind of shops including dye-houses, smithies, and old-style Chinese private banks arrayed on both sides.

Looking into the stores, wax figures can be seen standing in front of the counter, calculating with an abacus, or wandering in the rooms, scanning the products.
