The Exhibition of Cultural Relics of Yue State is divided into three parts: "Yue People and Yue State", "Farming and War", and "Prelude of Kingdom of Porcelains", which introduces the basic knowledge of the historic Yue State and its people as well as their living, and reflects the concept of value, spirit and culture of the Yue group.

The second exhibition, which is on the basis of the painting and calligraphic works collected by Zhejiang Museum and some other artworks collected by other institutions in Zhejiang, exhibits 180 painting and calligraphic works of the Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties (618-1644), among which a lot of works appear in public for the first time. These artworks not only portray the development of Chinese painting from the Tang Dynasty, but also show the refulgence of Zhejiang's painting history.
