At present there are 3,500 objects in the collections of the museum. Most of these date from the early period of Western Han. Part of their value lies in their diversity and quantity, the fact that they were 'ming-qi' or used to accompany the tomb occupant, and the fact that they include a substantial number of items of daily life so that they help reveal the life and customs of the region at that time.

The Maoling Museum is located in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, China. It is a national key cultural relics protection unit, and is the first large-scale museum in China to focus on the history and culture of the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 24). The museum was established in 1975 and is a major tourist attraction in the city. The museum covers an area of more than 18,000 square meters and has a total exhibition area of nearly 8,000 square meters.

It houses more than 2,000 cultural relics, including the famous terracotta warriors and horses unearthed from the Maoling Mausoleum.
