The Hami Museum was established in 1988 and was relocated in June 2002 by the South Guangdong Cultural Center, which was built with the assistance of the Guangdong Provincial People's Government.
The museum has an exhibition hall area of over 800 square meters and a storage room area of 300 square meters. The museum houses over 12000 cultural relics, including stone, bronze, pottery, wooden, iron, woolen cloth, Qing Dynasty costumes, and mummies, from primitive societies to the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Cultural relics are displayed in the form of general history, including the Stone Age, Bronze Age, Han Northern Dynasties, Sui, Tang, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties, to showcase the ancient civilization of Hami.
In the general history display, there are also two special exhibitions, Wubao and Yanbulake, which have unique cultural features.
The exhibition hall displays over 1000 pieces of various cultural relics, including the Five Fortress Corpse that caused a sensation both domestically and internationally, exquisite ancient woolen cloth, and precious cultural relics such as copper pots and deer head copper knives belonging to the Northern Bronze Culture.
Most of the exhibits are unearthed from archaeological excavations over the years and have strong local cultural characteristics. The exhibition design of the museum has been fully updated and is at a relatively high level among prefecture level museums in Xinjiang.
