This exhibition features one hundred artefacts from Shaanix province in China. Besides terracotta figures, the display contains important bronzes and jades from the Qin state before the time of the First Emperor. This is the first exhibition of the actual terracotta warriors to be held in Singapore as well as the first presentaton in Southeast Asia.
The first Emperor (259-219 BCE), Shi Huangdi, unified China and established the imperial system that lasted for more than 2000 years. He remains an intriguing historical personality.
