The First Emperor - China’s Terracotta Army
Posted by Alison under: Art; Exhibitions; History; Places to go .
I heard yesterday that the British Museum in London is holding the first exhibition ever of the Terracotta Army outside of China. How excited am I!
I shall make a date with myself to visit London in the Autumn, as I’ve also heard that Tutankhamun will be paying a visit as well. My cup runneth over

I read a book about these years ago, and I’m so excited!
I’ve heard that though his mask won’t be here, the rest will, so I’ll forgive them for that

What a fantastic opportunity!
Did you hear about that German performance artist a while back who disguised himself as one of the soldiers?

I hadn’t heard about that. Sounds as if it should be ridiculous. Did he look convincing?!

I am not sure that i approve of moving them, it doesnt seem quite right

They’re actually only moving a select few, and I watched a documentary on it, they are just so careful with things like this. I wouldn’t get to see them otherwise

You could always go to China? I suppose nobody would get see dinosaurs bones if somebody hadn’t dug them up and put them in a museum.
Also i presume they will get money to keep them in good condition so that is a good thing!

I don’t think somehow I will ever be able to afford to get to China, hence my excitement they’re coming here!
