The National Geographic Museum in Washington, D.C. will be the final venue on the four-city U.S. tour of “Terra Cotta Warriors: Guardians of China’s First Emperor.” The exhibition includes 15 terra cotta figures, the largest number ever to travel to the United States from the tomb of China’s First Emperor, Qin Shihuangdi, who reigned from 221-210 B.C. Considered one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century, the First Emperor’s enormous tomb complex contains thousands of terra cotta warriors intended to protect him in the afterlife. The exhibition offers an in-depth look at this historical site and showcases 100 sets of objects, including the 15 life-size terra cotta figures, which represent soldiers, servants, musicians, acrobats and animals.
