Xi'an Museum of the Terracotta Army

The Museum of the Terracotta Army, or Emperor Qin's Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum was opened to the public in 1979. It is the world-famous museum that is constructed on the site of its findings. The main exhibits of the museum are three exposed pits with clay warriors and horses, as well as the hall of the two bronze chariots and horses. Approximately 8,000 clay warriors and horses, more than 10,000 bronze weapons have been found in the pits. The museum is like a treasure house of Qin Dynasty's military affairs, science and technology, art and culture. It has been listed as an UNESCO world heritage site. Today the "Eighth Wonder of the World" has become a synonym for the well-known terracotta army.
