Quantum tomography is one of the major challenges of large-scale quantum information research due to the exponential time complexity. In this work, we develop and apply a Bayesian state estimation method to experimentally demonstrate quantum overlapping tomography [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{124}, 100401 (2020)], a scheme intent on characterizing critical information of a many-body quantum system in logarithmic time complexity. By comparing the measurement results of full state tomography and overlapping tomography, we show that overlapping tomography gives accurate information of the system with much fewer state measurements than full state tomography.
