Shaanxi History Museum

Yanta, China

Shaanxi History Museum brings the region’s archaeological riches together, from bronze objects to Tang ceramics, gold and silver work. The collections make the connections between Xi’an’s scattered monuments easier to understand, particularly the wealth and international contacts of Tang Chang’an. Concentrate on a few periods or galleries rather than trying to absorb everything in one visit. Secure the required reservation before arranging the rest of your day, and check whether special exhibitions need separate admission.
