The museum is using a 3,000-square–meter space for the 400 plus relics, which include armor used by emperors and generals during the Liao and Buddhist Scriptures from the Qidan (Khitan) people, who inhabited the broad grasslands of North China more than 1,000 years ago, as well as frescoes and paintings showing the daily life of the Qidan.
