The museum, located in western Ningxia, was established in 1996. It is China's first county-level museum.

One of its most precious relics is the qianlongbao, a type of coin produced by the Xinjiang Coin Bureau during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912). It is listed as a national first-class cultural relic.
