On May 18, the 45th International Museum Day, the newly completed Bronze Chariots Museum of the Qinshihuang's Mausoleum opened to the public for a trial run. Two painted bronze chariots, known as the "Crown of Bronze", were on display at the museum. The new museum is located in the southwest of Lishan Park in Lintong, Shaanxi, about 240 meters away from the burial pit of the bronze chariots. The new museum aims to fully display the historical, scientific, artistic and social value of bronze chariots.
Qinshihuang (259 BC - 210 BC) was the founder of the Qin dynasty (221 B.C.-206 B.C.). and the first emperor of a unified China.
