Focusing on both history and art, the Sinian Museum integrates collection, research, exhibition, operation and dissemination. Adhering to the concept of protecting, inheriting and contributing to Chinese culture, it advocates and promotes the study of ancient artifacts with materials, workmanship, shape and pattern as the core. It also cooperates with the College of Kaogu culture and Museum of Peking University to strive for continuous improvement on the platform of cooperation between the museum and the University.

The museum's collection is mainly composed of Buddhist statues, jade, pottery and blue and white porcelain. It is divided into two parts: permanent exhibition and special exhibition. The research center of paleontology is specially set up to fully show the achievements of ancient Chinese culture and art. At the same time, the museum analyzes the collection from the perspective of paleontology, and reveals the rich cultural connotation of historical relics to the audience from multiple perspectives.

The Sinian Museum adheres to the cultural ambition of giving back to the society and strives to build a cultural treasure box of Chinese civilization on the Bank of Huangpu.
