Otherwise known as the main building, the Historical Relics Hall is the main exhibition room of the museum. It is located in the center of the new exhibition area.
　　The museum attaches importance to exhibitions with educational information, timely themes, and good taste, intended to serve the people. In celebration of the 70th anniversary of its founding, it featured the completely new exhibition 《Zhejiang of 7000 Years》by making complete adjustments to the original 《Zhejaing Exhibition of Historical Relics》.
　　Instead of displaying the provincial general history, the new exhibition presented its highlights. Archeological relics were selected to reflect the different charms in such different historical stages as the Hemudu Culture, the Liangzhu Culture, the Yue State, the Wuyue Kingdom, and the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties. With local characteristics, they produced an enormous influence on Chinese history, reflecting the local ancestors' great creation of lasting value and brilliant contributions to the human civilization.
　　As how to display 《Zhejiang of 7000 Years》, the usual annalistic style is replaced by the leaping style in which contents, though unconnected in form, are inherently related to each other. Furthermore, some original scenes, local restoration, and statues as well as modern means including large-screen projection and multimedia are supplemented to make the exhibition more colorful, more appealing to modern visitors. This exhibition has been awarded as 2000's National Ten Superb Display Prize and Most Popular Prize given by State Cultural Relics Bureau.
　　This hall has three floors in all, Prehistorical Culture including Hemudu and Liangzhu of Zhejiang History at the first floor; Yue State, Wuyue Kingdom and Southern and Northern Song Dynasties at the second and contemporary parts at the third.
