Developed with a total investment of 570 million yuan ($79.63 million), the museum covers an area of 500 mu (33.33 hectares), with a planned area of 108,000 square meters.

It is a provincial and municipal key construction project, a provincial patriotism education base, a national cultural industry demonstration base, and a national 4A-level scenic spot.

The museum preserves more than 40,000 folk relic pieces from the Western Zhou Dynasty (c.11th century-771 BC) onwards - items which have borne historical witness to cultural exchanges and integration in China for thousands of years.

So far, it has received a total of 4.18 million tourists. It has become a beautiful calling card for the display of Guanzhong folk culture and a major driving project for Shaanxi cultural tourism.
