陕西历史博物馆
Shaanxi History Museum
The Shaanxi History Museum connects prehistoric settlements, political centers of Zhou, Qin and Han dynasties, and the open and diverse capital of the Tang Dynasty through a timeline. Bronze, ceramics, gold and silverware, tomb figurines and murals together explain why Guanzhong has become the core of the country many times. It is best to visit before the large-scale ruins and use the framework of the museum to organize what you see later.

Practical notes
Competition for reservations is fierce, and some special exhibitions may have different rules. You should only use the latest official channels of the museum, bring your reservation certificate, and focus on the basic display plus a key topic. There is no need to try to see all the exhibition halls when there are many people.
