The First Emperor: China's Terracotta Army 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. How that state has survived, developed and is viewed today is explored through events,
lectures and debates around the exhibition.
