Hunan Museum stands in Kaifu District, Changsha, and is the province's largest history and art museum. Its rich collection is most influential for relics unearthed from the Mawangdui Han tomb in Changsha, offering a systematic picture of the advanced civilisation of the Western Han.
Permanent exhibitions include the Mawangdui Han tomb display and a history of Hunan and its people, with highlights such as the plain gauze robe, the T-shaped silk painting and items related to Lady Xin Zhui. Visits usually require advance booking; check the official announcements for details.
