It covers an area of ??only 7,400 square meters. For a long time, the old Ningxia Museum’s small space not only resulted in the loss of exhibition opportunities for many “no place” cultural relics, but also limited the audience reception capacity of the old museum. At the same time, due to strict restrictions on the reconstruction of old museums, many modern equipment are inconvenient to install, which has a great impact on the maintenance and preservation of cultural relics.

The newly built Ningxia Museum covers an area of ??more than 30,000 square meters and has a daily reception capacity of about 2,000 visitors. The new museum was constructed in strict accordance with the standards of modern museums, and its hardware meets first-class domestic standards.

There are many exhibits and national treasures are on display. In order to welcome the 50th anniversary of the autonomous region and comprehensively display the historical features of Ningxia, the Ningxia Museum not only took out many cultural relics from the bottom of the box, but also "invited" a batch of cultural relics closely related to Ningxia's history from other places. The most noteworthy thing is that the Ningxia Museum will display 6 national treasure-level cultural relics represented by the "Golden Bronze Ox". Many cultural relics that were rarely seen by visitors due to various reasons in the past and some newly unearthed cultural relics will be displayed. It will make a "dazzling debut" at the same time as the new Ningxia Museum opens. It is reported that more than 4,000 cultural relics are expected to be exhibited this time, including 6 national treasure-level cultural relics and more than 100 national first-class cultural relics. It can be said that "quantity" is abundant and "quality" is sufficient.
