Prior to its opening, the National Cultural Heritage Administration hosted a special news conference for the museum on Nov 6 in Beijing. Officials from the city of Linfen, which has Xiangfen county in its jurisdiction, as well as the nation's archaeological experts, introduced the highlights of the museum to the media.

Wang Yanfeng, mayor of Linfen, said that exhibitions at the museum are arranged in three sections, centering around the themes of "cradle of civilization", "ancient capital" and "the state in the early stage". There are also two special exhibition zones for "archaeological work in Taosi" and temporary displays, as well as a digital exhibition zone to get visitors familiar with the history of China's earliest civilization.
