It would take more than the time we had to fully see the Shaanxi History Museum. The pieces cover local history from prehistoric times to the present. Here are some highlights.

 |
| Two birds on a bronze vessel. |
 |
| Wine vessels come in many shapes and sizes. This one is an ox. |
 |
| The original (and literal) pottery barn. |
 |
| A whimsical "tomb-guarding beast". To me it looks like the Man in the Moon meets a stegasaurus. |
 |
| You would expect, of course, a good exhibit on the Terracotta Army. This figure shows and example of possible original colors. |
 |
| These figures were excavated from the tomb of Zhu Chengyong. The flags, banner, lamps, and musical instruments they once held were made of fabric and wood and have decayed away. |
 |
| The emperor at the rear of the procession. |
