The ground floor exhibits can generally be categorised into four. The first section is a display of imperial garments and ornaments of past Mongolian kings and their relatives. The second section exhibits a good variety of folk artifacts and relics from the generations of people living on the grasslands. These include hunting and sports implements (saddles, leather overcoats & even polo sticks), a Daur shaman's costume, a model yurt (Mongolian tent), costumes, cooking implements, an Oroqen teepee and more. The third section takes you back further into the province's past, with one of China's best selections of fossilized remains, mainly of animals and dinosaurs. The two most interesting exhibits are the patched up mammoth skeleton (with bits of plaster inconspicuously replacing missing bits), that was dug out from a mine in the nearby village of Manzhouli, and China's largest dinosaur remains, a giant brontosaurus. The final section, the obvious addition by Communist China, is a record of what the Han Chinese have managed to achieve in the province since the 1950s and the CCP consolidation of power.
