The Xianyang Museum, located in Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province, is a cultural landmark dedicated to the rich legacy of the Qin and Han dynasties. Housed in a former Confucian Temple built in 1371, the museum was officially established in 1962 and now boasts a collection of over 15,000 artifacts.
Among its highlights are approximately 3,000 painted terracotta warriors and horses from the Western Han Dynasty, as well as bronze weapons, jade items, and ancient agricultural tools. The museum is divided into nine exhibition halls, each focusing on different aspects of ancient Chinese life and culture.
The Xianyang Museum offers free admission to all visitors and is open from Tuesday to Sunday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with the last entry at 4:30 PM. Visitors are encouraged to bring valid identification, such as a passport, for entry.
