The mystique and secrets of Ancient China will be on display soon with The Terracotta Army and the First Emperor of China: The Exhibition heading to Durban, Johannesburg and Cape Town for the first time.
The exhibition is an extraordinary voyage in Ancient China of 2,200 years ago. It is, undeniably, the most complete exhibition ever created on the Terracotta Army, the necropolis and life of the First Emperor. In an incredible staging, this exhibition brings together more than 300 life size reproductions of statues, chariots, weapons and objects from the daily life of the First Emperor of China, such as they were discovered in the more than 100 pits of the necropolis.
The Terracotta Army and the First Emperor of China: The Exhibition is presented by industry leader in the travelling exhibitions sector, Expo RSA, who previously exhibited The Art of the Brick, Titanic and Dino’s Alive.
Says Nick Dreyer, Director of Expo RSA: “The works have all been reproduced by Chinese craftsmen from the excavation region, with a particular consideration for details in order to maintain the beauty and originality of the originals. The realism of these reproductions is reinforced by the environments and a spectacular audio-visual and lighting installation.”
