Sixty copies of Dunhuang murals inscribed by Zhang Daqian, Xie Zhiliu, and Yu Zhizhen are collected in the museum, all of which are handmade on wool and silk and painted with mineral pigments. The paintings are exquisite and delicate, with plump muscles and bones, and solemn facial expressions. The volume is particularly precious, and the inscription "Ancient City Ganzhou" fully demonstrates Zhangye's importance in the integration of civilizations on the Silk Road, as if you were in the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang. The “Pictures of Ladies” from the Jin and Tang Dynasties and the “Pictures of Wenhui” from the Song Dynasty reproduced the scenes of ancient literati gatherings left in the Dunhuang Sutra Cave. The paintings of Tang Bohu, Qiu Ying and Dong Qichang in the Ming Dynasty are precious and unique. The "Famous Generals Fighting Thieves" painted by Jin Tingbiao, a court painter in the Qing Dynasty, is a true portrayal of the famous Qing general Fukang Ping'an's victory over the battle of Guerqi.
