The museum and its exhibits were great and impressive enough to warrant a visit. The ticketing was ridiculous and chaotic however - we were lucky that our driver took care of it for us (my wife is pregnant and I was on crutches) as I would've been very annoyed to stand in a queue outside in the un-sheltered sun for...

A wonderful museum with many wonderful exhibits. All the signs and exhibits had English translations which were great as we could take our own time and look at the articles and pieces on display with out the need of a guide. This is a very educational place and we learnt a lot about Chinese history during our visit.

It is difficult to give a review of this museum as it has many areas and rooms to visit. The pottery figures and the large bronzes are very interesting . There is a huge bronze wine container which tells me that wine was an important part of their lives. There is a jade gallery which was interesting because os the... More

This museum has a nice collection of artifacts found in Shaanxi Provence. Since this was the capitol of ancient China for over 1000 years, there is a lot of history here. The best thing here is the collection of terra cotta warriors. You can see them up close and not behind glass. It is a great photo op. With a... More

Lots to see at this museum, need a good few hours here. If I remember correctly, there seemed to be quite a queue to get tickets but someone kindly told us that we were queuing behind a queue for tour groups so be careful where you queue! Also, apparently they give out a certain amount of free tickets so get... More

This is a really sound place. We only had a couple of hours there but the sheer volume of artefacts, well laid out and in chronological order, merits at least a full day's viewing. The chinese seem rightly very proud of their long history and this museum demonstrates this! It is packed with chinese punters and sharp elbows are required... More

This is a popular museum for Xi'an locals, China tourists and foreign tourists alike. I enjoyed the viewing bronze wine vessels throughout the various dynasties - it just goes to prove that good taste can transcend to centuries to todays wine enthusiasts. There are a number of Terracotta Warriors on display - see up close was amazing. Well worth a... More

This is well exhibited and extensive; one could spend hours here but we limited it to 2 hours. All sorts of artifacts are on display and there is good reading material applying to most exhibits - we were fortunate to have our own guide who made it come alive

the museum is dark, aging and a relic of some late 80's early 90's Chinese museum, really need to renovate to make this more attractive, have seen much better museums. Not world class by any means..at least it was free..
