Xī’ān: Shaanxi Provincial History Museum

Friday 19th April, 2013.

This museum is often touted as one of China’s best.  However, as we were in Terracotta Warrior land, that was what interested me the most, and I found it a bit confusing.  I wasn’t sure whether the warriors I was looking at were real or replicas.  Anyway, here are some of the pictures I took at the museum:

I didn’t realise this until later, but the pictures on the wall behind this real/reproduction warrior are photographs of the faces of the warriors, showing how different they all are from each other.

Even the horses were different from each other.
