Terracotta Warriors of Qin

On Sale Now!

The Terracotta Warriors of Qin exhibition recreates the ‘eighth wonder of the world' – an accidental discovery unearthed in the 1970s. Excavations revealed 8,000 incredibly detailed, life-size figures lined up in battle formation; a fully equipped Terracotta Army, guarding the tomb of China's First Emperor.

The exhibition  features a spectacular display of more than 60 of the famed Terracotta Warriors of Qin, made by professional artisans from the home of the original museum in Xi'an, China. There are also five specially painted figures that show exactly how the Terracotta Warriors of Qin looked in their original colours when they were buried 2,200 years ago.

Recreating China's buried treasures, this private collection is a mix of authentic museum pieces and reproductions. Hundreds of weapons from the Qin Dynasty (pre-206 BC) including swords, arrows and axes will be on display, along with rare bronze and jade works of art from the time, Qin burial objects and ancient coins.

If you can't travel to China to marvel at the treasures from the tomb of China's First Emperor, then you must visit this amazing display of life-size Terracotta Warriors of Qin here in Wellington.
