The museum boasts a collection of some 4,000 objects, including works in bamboo, porcelain, bronze and embroidery.
It also shows "State gifts" and artworks for international events held in Beijing, which the group has been assigned to produce over several decades, such as the medals of the Beijing Olympics in 2008 and a decorative silver plate presented as a gift to leaders attending the APEC China summit of 2014.
The museum has employed 28 people to oversee the preservation and offer educational guides to children and teenagers. It is located near the National Gymnasium in the city's Olympic Park area.
