The exhibition takes place across three galleries and unfolds in three distinct parts.

The first room addresses the figure of the ruler. The items displayed are predominantly funerary statuettes. The scenographic installation takes inspiration from the way statuettes were stored in Han burial chambers and from the grid of period prints. The artworks are presented on pedestals around which visitors can freely walk.

The second section deals with the relationship between the Han and their territory. The layout is oriented to highlight a centerpiece of the exhibition located at the heart of the room.

The third and final section immerses visitors in the realities of daily life under the Han dynasty. Themes such as writing, architecture, and music are grouped on large central tables, providing a comprehensive impression of Han culture.
