The museum is a place of interest which stores treasures of folk-custom cultures in [[Beijing]]. Situated in [[Dongyue Temple]], a cultural site under the first-class protection of the state, the museum is composed of grand and exquisite buildings which look especially spectacular.

Since it opened to the public in [[1999]], the museum has put on exhibitions characterized by distinct folk style. Such exhibitions as [[Beijing]] Folklore Exhibition, China's Centenary Folk Costume Exhibition, Old Beijingnese Life Exhibition, Etiquette and Custom Exhibition and Pouch Collection Exhibition enjoy great popularity among the people in [[Beijing]].

The folk cultural activities along with the festivals also attract every visitor to the museum.
