This magnificent exhibition of some 100 objects includes 20 of the world-famous life-size warriors from Xi’an including terracotta figures of foot soldiers, generals, kneeling bowmen, cavalry and chariot horses. The works are on loan from institutions in Shaanxi province including the Museum of Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Emperor Qin Shihuang.
