Of its three partitioned exhibition areas, the front one is devoted to a statue for the Mongolian woman named Jiebumubutai (Empress Xiaozhuang) sitting sideways made of glass fiber reinforced plastics to create a feeling of white marble; the east one is devoted to legends related to the Ancestors Mausoleum such as Xuezi Temple and Kunv Mountain while the west one is devoted to showing historic materials concerning ancestors of Empress Xiaozhuang in large-scale relievos and frescoes made of materials similar to bronze.
