Terracotta Warriors: The First Emperor and His Legacy

The Terracotta Warriors exhibition will finish here in Singapore on October 16.

The terracotta army buried near the tomb of the First Emperor of China is perhaps the most important archaeological discovery of our time. Unearthed in 1974 outside Xi’an, the thousands of pottery soldiers and horses are striking works of art that tell us a great deal about early China.
