The museum exhibits not only paintings and sculptures, but also tapestries, musical instruments, clothing, and ornaments. The five exhibition halls are: European Paintings, American Paintings, Primitive Art, Medieval Paintings and Egyptian Antiques. Of the four newly constructed wings, one is dedicated to original art exhibits, called the Michael C. Rockefeller Room. The new weapons and military exhibition hall also reopened at the end of 1991. There are also many garden courtyards in the museum, with glass roofs rising high from them, it will be very pleasant to rest for a while.
