The palace complex is located on the top of a hill and territorially covers 2.7 hectares. Today the museum specializes in the collection and preservation of artifacts, ethnological exhibits and finds discovered during excavations. The museum presents nine exhibition halls on the following topics to the attention of visitors: archaeological finds confiscated by the police; historical periodization; traditional crafts; archaeological finds from Daylang; archaeological finds from Daidong and Dailao; agricultural and hunting supplies; nature, geography, people; finds of the war years, the period of resistance to American colonists and French; cultural life and traditional festivals; achievements of socialist society in the field of construction.
