Contributions made by migrant workers to Beijing's modern skyline, including the famous Bird's Nest and the new Central Television HQ, are displayed at the Culture and Arts Museum of Migrant Labor. The museum houses more than 2,000 exhibits illustrating the lives and working conditions of migrant workers. 

The museum is located in the outskirts of Beijing at Picun Village, close to Beijing Capital Airport. It was established by Migrant Workers' Home, an organization dedicated to defending the rights of migrant workers and helping them and their children build new lives in cities. Entrance to the museum is free. [CnDG by Jiao Meng, January 1, 2011]
