The building is marked by a white exterior, a line of Doric columns, triangular gables at the main entrance, a domed ceiling in the main hall, symmetrical wings which serve as display halls, and an interior finished with marble purchased from Europe. It is in its own right "classical" in the sense that it is a classic example of the pattern style.
這棟建築採用陶立克柱式的古典主義，白色牆面，正面入口安排高大的柱列及三角形山牆、大廳上覆圓頂、對稱的兩翼作為展覽室，內部建材則使用購自歐洲的大理石，是樣式建築中古典系統的代表作。
