Modern arts amidst restless nightlife

#freemuseumdays The Xi'an Art Museum, located in the restless part of the city, is a fantastic place to slow down and soak in some contemporary Chinese art. From how it looked fancy from the outside, I almost thought the admission would be expensive and skipped it. Little did I know, it’s not only not expensive but free! The moment you step into its Tang-style architecture, you feel a balance between ancient elegance and modern creativity. But it depends on the exhibition at the time of visit because most exhibitions aren’t permanent here. The museum is spacious, beautifully designed, and easy to explore—even if you're not a typical museum-goer. It’s a great place to wander through after enjoying the lights and energy of the surrounding area. If you’re already in the area, it’s absolutely worth a stop—peaceful, inspiring, and a bit of a hidden gem amid the bustle of the city.
