Shaanxi History Museum

Shaanxi History Museum, which is located to the northwest of the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda in the ancient city Xi'an, in the Shaanxi province of China, is one of the first huge state museums with modern facilities in China and one of the largest.

The museum houses over 370,000 items,[2] including murals, paintings, pottery, coins, as well as bronze, gold, and silver objects.

The modern museum was built between 1983 and 2001 and its appearance recalls the architectural style of the Tang dynasty.

The museum is architecturally in the Tang style, with a "hall in center, storied buildings in corners".

Since the opening of the museum, it has followed the policy of collecting, conservation, publicizing, education, and scientific research, using its many historical relics, and conducted various types of display.
