Xi'an is a city built on the monuments and sites of thousands of years. Since the Western Zhou Dynasty in the 11th century BC, 13 dynasties have established their capitals here, leaving a large amount of cultural heritage. The imprints of thousands of years of time and history are concentrated in the collections of large and small museums in Xi'an, showing the world the splendor and glory of the old city as well as the traces of people's lives for thousands of years. Based on the current situation of the development of museums in Xi'an municipal district, this paper reveals their existing problems, including the lack of development momentum of non-state-owned museums, the large proportion of ungraded museums without assessment, and the large differences in the degree of museums' adopting new technologies and so on. The main reason for this is that the development of museums lags behind the urbanization process and the spiritual and cultural needs of the audience. In view of this, efforts should be made to increase the publicity of the value and function of museums, take measures to promote the development of non-state-owned museums, strengthen the construction of professional talents in the culture and museum industry, and effectively promote the development of Xi'an museums, making them the cultural living rooms of Xi'an, an international metropolis.
