The exhibition, focusing on the years from the early 1900s to the 1970s, reveals the hardships faced by migrant workers. The museum shows the slave-like conditions the workers had to endure, depicted in the museum's permanent exhibition, which includes the original dormitories, concrete bunks and punishment room.
