Inner Mongolia Museum, located in the center of Hohhot, the capital of the autonomous region, was established in May 1957, 1. It is the only comprehensive museum at the autonomous region level in the whole region, and the earliest museum established in China minority areas. The building area of the whole museum is 15000 square meters, and the exhibition area is 7000 square meters.

The exhibition hall of Inner Mongolia Museum has unique architectural modeling and national characteristics. There is a galloping horse on the roof, which symbolizes the auspiciousness and soaring of Inner Mongolia. After its completion, the building has become one of the landmark buildings in the capital of the autonomous region.

Collection of Inner Mongolia Museum 1 00000 pieces (sets), divided into:1. Fossil specimens of paleontology in Inner Mongolia. The collection of paleontological fossils in Inner Mongolia Museum brings together the fossil treasures of Inner Mongolia, reflecting the general situation of paleontological fossils in Inner Mongolia, the course of biological evolution and the miracle of Gobi vicissitudes. During the Mesozoic era from 225 million to 65 million years ago, Inner Mongolia was once a paradise for reptiles such as dinosaurs and became a world-famous dinosaur fossil producing area. There are huge fossil skeletons such as Chagannuolong, Parrot-billed Dragon, Bird-shaped Dragon, Duck-billed Dragon and protoceratops. Fossil products such as Iguanodon, Stegosaurus, Pterosaur, Ankylosaurus, sauropods, dinosaur eggs, dinosaur embryos and dinosaur footprints. The Cenozoic era, 65 million to 1 10,000 years ago, was the heyday of mammals in Inner Mongolia, with fascinating giant mammoths and two strangely buried hairy rhinos, the most in China at that time. All paleontological fossil collections are characterized by various categories, wide distribution and good preservation. From 2.5 billion years ago to/kloc-0.0 million years ago, there were almost no annual rings. When we integrate knowledge and interest into the exhibition, it seems that we have brought the audience to that remote and magical ancient time and wandered in the kingdom of prehistoric life in Inner Mongolia.

Second, the historical sites in Inner Mongolia. Inner Mongolia has been a big stage for the activities of northern ethnic minorities since ancient times. Historical sites in different times have unique shapes and distinctive grassland cultural characteristics. The cultural relics of the nomadic people in the northern grassland of ancient China, such as Xiongnu, Donghu, Xianbei, Turkic, Qidan, Tangut, Nuzhen and Mongolia, constitute the characteristics of the collection of historical cultural relics. Attila's eagle-shaped gold crown ornaments and tiger-ox-bitten gold belt ornaments unearthed in Ordos City are the treasures of Xiongnu culture. The bronze dagger with curved blade unearthed in Chifeng city is a relic of Donghu nationality; The golden dragon ornaments found in Wulanchabu City, the golden crown ornaments of horse's head and antlers, the golden crown ornaments of ox's head and antlers, and the golden step rocking crown ornaments are the ornaments used by Xianbei nobles. Silver plate with dragon pattern of Pisces, silver pot with dragon pattern of fish and Persian silver pot unearthed in Chifeng city are a number of important cultural relics closely related to the grassland Silk Road in Tang Dynasty. Different shapes of cockscomb pots and gold-plated, agate and silver horse ornaments unearthed from Liao Maxu's tomb in Chifeng City are excellent cultural relics of Liao Dynasty. The historical relics of Inner Mongolia Museum have played a very good role in promoting the national culture of the motherland and publicizing the long history of Inner Mongolia, and have been welcomed and praised by people from all walks of life at home and abroad.

Third, ethnic cultural relics in Inner Mongolia. Among the national cultural relics, the collection of Mongolians ranks first in all museums in China, and the collections of ethnic minorities such as Oroqen, Ewenki and Daur reflect the production and life characteristics of these ethnic minorities in all aspects, which is refreshing. The Mongolian cultural relics system reflects the production and life, culture, art and religious beliefs of the Mongolian people. In the collection, all kinds of exquisite saddles are made, and different types of Mongolian headdresses and costumes in different regions are the most rare, and some sets of costumes have become peerless products. The cultural relics of the Oroqen, Ewenki and Daur nationalities highlight their different modes of production and customs. All kinds of fishing and hunting tools of Oroqen nationality, reindeer of Ewenki nationality and folk art of Daur nationality are highlighted by the birch bark culture with simple style and exquisite art. In addition, we have a considerable collection of cultural relics of Hui, Manchu, Korean and other ethnic minorities.

These collections are vivid teaching materials for patriotism education and an important carrier for cultivating national spirit. 1922, China's * * * production party clearly put forward a program to solve the problems of ethnic minorities in its second declaration. Li Dazhao, Deng Zhongxia and Zhao Shiyan, leaders of the North District Committee of the Communist Party of China, went deep into Beijing Mongolian and Tibetan School, and trained advanced Mongolian youths such as Ulanhu, Kuibi, Ji Yatai, Duo Songnian, Rong Yaoxian, Gao Buzebo, Zhao Cheng and Foding. 1945, the CPC Central Committee sent Ulanhu and other comrades to Inner Mongolia to lead the people of all ethnic groups to carry out the autonomy movement. 1 May, 9471day, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region was proclaimed in Ulanhot.

Accordingly, Inner Mongolia Museum consists of four basic exhibitions: Inner Mongolia paleontological fossil exhibition, Inner Mongolia historical cultural relics exhibition, Inner Mongolia national cultural relics exhibition and Inner Mongolia revolutionary cultural relics exhibition, which are exhibited all the year round. Inner Mongolia Museum persistently publicizes science and culture to the public, serves the society and constantly meets the people's growing material and cultural needs. Inner Mongolia Museum is not only the main collection institution and propaganda and education institution of cultural relics and specimens in Inner Mongolia, but also the academic research institution of museology, history, ethnology, paleontology and other disciplines. Its research results are mainly reflected in the exhibition. In addition, more than ten volumes of cultural relics catalogue were published in exhibitions at home and abroad, and hundreds of papers were published in academic journals inside and outside the region.
