The facility's current exhibition features rare items from the collection of the Chinese National Library, where the museum is housed.
Chen Hongyan is the deputy director of the newly-opened museum. "The collection of these classic books enables the public to understand how Chinese culture passes down."
Over 800 pieces make up the collection and range from three-thousand-year-old oracle bones to contemporary calligraphy manuscripts.
Located in the South Area of Chinese National Library, the museum opens from 9am to 5pm from each Tuesday to Sunday.
