This hall has collected a good number of choice stone carvings of Henan Province. It is divided into two sections: Secular Stone Carving Art and Buddhist Statue Sculpture Art. The former displays stone carvings in three categories, namely the stone stele of the Han Dynasty, the tomb sculptures and inscription calligraphy carved on tablets.

The latter displays various Buddhist Statue sculptures in chronological sequence so that visitors will have a systematic and vivid understanding of the evolution of the Buddhist art style after Buddhism was introduced into China. Among these exhibits, the vigorous lines and the exaggerated expression of the Han Dynasty stele, the lingering charm of Chinese calligraphy carved on tablets and the plump and refined quality of Buddhist statue sculptures will surely leave an unforgettable impression upon the visitors.
