Xianyang Museum
咸阳博物院
A museum in Xianyang focused on Qin and Han relics. Its distinctive collection includes the Han-dynasty painted terracotta figures, known as the “Three Thousand Terracotta Army,” and Qin artifacts.
Xianyang Museum is in Weicheng District of Xianyang, on the former site of a Confucius Temple. It is a comprehensive museum focused on Qin and Han artifacts. Its most famous holding is the Western Han painted terracotta figures unearthed at Yangjiawan, about 3,000 in total. They are smaller than the Qin terracotta warriors and have retained their colors well, earning them the nickname “Three Thousand Terracotta Army.” The museum also displays relics unearthed from the site of the Qin Xianyang Palace and Han jade. Admission is about 20 yuan or free, subject to on-site prices. Closed on Mondays. Together with Maoling and Han Yangling, it can form a one-day Xianyang trip.
