Maoling Museum

Maoling Museum is one that focuses predominately on the history of the Western Han Dynasty. It combines the cultural relics and ancient constructions within picturesque garden settings. The unearthed relics exhibited in the Museum are mainly from the Mausoleum of Emperor Wu, the Tomb of Huo Qubing and the grand Stone Carvings. They provide further evidence to the great extent of creativity and the extensive range of skills the ancient crafts people of China possessed during that period. All of these depict the crystallization of human wisdom and experience.

Just one kilometer (about 0.6 miles) away from Maoling Mausoleum, the Museum covers an area of 121,486 square meters (about 30 acres). In some 4,100 cultural relics, 14 national-level treasures have been discovered. Some of these truly unique and precious cultural relics such as the Gilt Bronze Horse, the eaves tile with characters and the stone tiger sculpture have now been exhibited in many countries and regions, and have been viewed with huge enthusiasm. In its two main exhibition halls you can see these rare cultural relics, and learn all about the life and achievements of Emperor Wu.
