中国是一个多民族聚居的国家，在漫长的历史进程中，各民族的纺织与服饰有着丰富的历史积淀，体现了各民族的特色。

少数民族与汉民族，在纺织技艺与图案纹样上，相互渗透和影响，保存了大量的历史文化信息。少数民族的服饰绚丽多彩，她们是历史的凝聚，是体现其族群特征的文化符号，是维系其民族特性的纽带。少数民族纺织与服饰是文化人类学中的一份宝贵遗产。

本馆通过实物、图片、场景和多媒体相结合的方式，展示了部分少数民族的纺织工艺和服饰风貌。

China is a multiethnic nation and endowed with a rich textile and costume heritage during its long history, bearing characteristics of each ethnic group.

Ethnic minorities and Han ethnic group influence each other in terms of textile technology and pattern, while preserving much information with regard to history and culture. Costumes of ethnic minorities are known for their diversity of colors, reflecting historical, cultural and ethnic characteristics of each ethnic minority as well as forming a precious legacy of cultural anthropology.

The Ethnic Minorities Exhibition epitomizes the textile technology and costume culture of some ethnic minorities in the form of real collections, pictures, scenes and multimedia.
