National first-class museum; the "Heluo Civilization Exhibition" runs from Erlitou straight through to the Tang and Five Dynasties. The museum's three signature treasures are the Eastern Han stone bixie (winged guardian beast), the Cao Wei white jade cup, and the Tang sancai horse with black glaze; the golden nanmu wood pagoda came from the old Qing palace collection. The backbone museum of the ancient capital's civilization narrative and the main venue for study tours and family visits.
