In the museum, visitors not only visit archaeological relics according to the chronological sequence but also realize the living landscape of the aboriginal ancestors in southern of Taiwan through seven perspectives: fishing, farming, hunting, livestock, home, wares, and ornaments. The exhibition hall also focuses on presenting archaeology, including modern science and technology analysis, site excavation methods, cultural relics preservation and maintenance, archaeological research results, and others.
