Great collection.
This little gem has a great collection, and is a must-see for anyone with an interest in calligraphy or traditional Chinese art styles. The entry fee is donation based, and all pieces on display are for sale.

The loveliest hidden gem in Xi'an
This is one of the best museum experiences I've ever had anywhere, hands down. The collection is exquisite and the backgrounds of the artwork was fascinating, but the best part of the experience was my tour guide the lovely Ella, who was sweet, knowledgeable, warm and brilliant. Wish I could stay in China and be friends with her! When I arrived I was told by the gatekeeper that TangBo was only open to pre-booked group tours, and I was to turn away in disappointment when he went and retrieved Ella for me, and she conducted a brilliant private tour for me - the artifacts emphasized on the fascinating and relevant rather than all historical, featuring folk arts and contemporary artists that calls back to the culture, and Ella did a spectacular job of turning each one into a story and make the meaning behind the art relatable to the viewer. I have some background in the subject but I think even people without any particular experience with art or history would enjoy this tour, I wish more things in China would be presented like TangBo. Five glowing stars!
