The British National Museum in London has recently opened an exhibition that you cannot afford to miss! It is titled The First Emperor: China's Terracotta Army. It explores one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the twentieth century, giving an insight into China’s First Emperor, Qin Shihuangdi, and his legacy.
The exhibition includes a number of the world-famous terracotta warriors from Xi'an, China, which were buried alongside the First Emperor in readiness for the afterlife, as well as some of the most striking recent discoveries made on the site. In introducing the idea of a unified state and effectively creating China in 221 BC, the First Emperor of Qin created what is today the oldest surviving political entity in the world.
The exhibition runs until the 6th of April 2008 and costs 10 pounds. Go and book online NOW!
