The museum aims to collect, arrange and display Mazu's artifacts and religious folk history materials in order to enhance temple culture and promote the ideal of cultural temple. The related historical materials as well as artifacts such as fengnie, shenzao and tools for ceremonies such as spell device, worship device and baidou were preserved by Tianhou temple, managed, and displayed by Huang Zhi-Nong of Zuoyang Arts Workshop. It was not until 1993 when Tianhou temple took for the management.
