SFC said that the exhibition provided an overview of the following:
- The vibrant blend of cultures, including indigenous tribes and influences from Malay, Chinese, Indian, and other indigenous Sarawak cultures with exhibits featuring handicrafts and traditional costumes.
- The landscapes of Sarawak and Malaysia with exhibits on rainforests, beaches, and iconic landmarks emphasising on eco-tourism, wildlife conservation, and the unique biodiversity found in Borneo.
