Shaanxi History Museum

Xi'an served as the capital for 13 dynasties across 1,100 years, and the Shaanxi History Museum is the keeper of that extraordinary legacy. From Neolithic pottery to Tang Dynasty gold and silver, from Zhou Dynasty bronze to exquisite Tang murals, this museum offers an unbroken narrative of Chinese civilization at its most dynamic. The Tang Dynasty treasures are particularly spectacular, reflecting the cosmopolitan golden age when Xi'an (then Chang'an) was the world's greatest city.
