　　The Garden Museum is a perfect combination of garden culture and technological innovation. Through its overall layout design, it promotes natural ventilation to reduce energy consumption; the outdoor gardens are arranged at varying heights and face south to receive ample sunlight, providing a green canopy for the museum; different spatial layouts such as staggered joints, atriums, and recessed corridors further enhance ventilation. In addition, ecological and energy-saving technologies—such as natural lighting supplemented by solar photovoltaic power generation, reclaimed water recycling, rainwater utilization, and ice storage cooling—make it a model of green energy efficiency, environmental protection application, technology, concept, education, training, and demonstration.

　　The exhibitions in the museum adopt a combined display system of permanent exhibitions, thematic exhibitions, and temporary exhibitions. The permanent exhibitions focus on themes such as classical Chinese gardens and modern Chinese gardens; the thematic exhibitions cover world-famous gardens, garden design art, garden culture, and science education interactions; while the temporary exhibitions showcase premium domestic and international garden-related items. Currently, three thematic exhibitions have been confirmed for the duration of the Garden Expo: the "Exquisite Craftsmanship" Sh样雷 "Garden Blueprint Exhibition," "Gardens on Porcelain: The Influence of Chinese Gardens on the West through Export Ceramics," and "Imperial Garden Treasures: A Finest Selection of Cultural Relics from Beijing’s Royal Gardens."
