The museum was re-organized in 2003 out of two separate museums that already occupied the building: the Museum of the Chinese Revolution and the National Museum of Chinese History.
The Museum of Chinese History covers Chinese history from the Yuanmou Man of 1.7 million years ago to the end of the Qing Dynasty (the last imperial dynasty).
The National Museum of China contains over 620,385 cultural items in its permanent art collection, and the museum displays many precious and rare Chinese historical artifacts that are not found in many other museums in China and around the world.
