The exhibits include objects related to shipping, literature, art, calligraphy, textiles and traditional opera. Exhibits from the Qian Xuesen Library and Museum at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, for instance, offer visitors a deeper insight into Qian Xuesen's life by displaying the suitcase he used for 40 years and showing a selection of his famous academic works.

Qian was a Chinese scientist recognized as the "father of Chinese aerospace" for his efforts in establishing China's ballistic missile program.

Visitors also get the chance to see a Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) imperial bronze acupuncture figure, which was part of the exhibits from the Shanghai Museum of TCM, a museum at the Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Bronze acupuncture figures were created during the Song Dynasty (960-1279) to educate people about acupuncture.
