- Summary:
- "Terracotta Warriors: Guardians of Immortality" is a large-scale presentation of the Qin Emperor's terracotta warriors, which, discovered in 1974 in China's Shaanxi province, are regarded as one of the greatest archaeological finds of the twentieth century and widely described as the eighth wonder of the world. This presentation features more than 150 exquisite treasures of historic Chinese art and design. From the Qin dynasty (221 - 207 BCE), the exhibition presents eight terracotta warriors alongside two full-sized horses and two replica bronze chariots. Objects lent by leading museums and archaeological sites from across the Shaanxi province include priceless gold, jade and bronze artefacts dating from the Zhou dynasty (1050 - 256 BCE) through to the Han dynasty (207 BCE - 220 CE).
