It preserves many historical relics unearthed within the area of Kunming since 1950s. Of particular interest artifacts displayed here are the Dian bronzes excavated from tombs on the shores of Dian Chi Lake, which belonged to the Warring-States Period more than two thousand years ago. The largest pieces include a decorative plate with a tiger attacking an ox, and a coffin made of bamboo shaped like a house. The most impressive are the lids from storage drums used to hold cowries decorated with various posing characters. In addition there shows a replica of the Chinese imperial gold seal given to the Dian King in the 2nd century.
