Every object has its own unique story.

More than 50,000 items related to last May's devastating earthquake are on display. Most belonged to quake victims, and were collected from the rubble.

A loudspeaker and map used by Premier Wen Jiabao during the quake relief efforts are also on display.

And the first military boat that arrived at the Yingxiu epicenter to help with relief work is also here.
