Showcasing the latest discoveries from Emperor Qin’s tomb complex of warriors, including the one and only mysterious green-faced warrior, this new exhibition provides a glimpse into 3 ancient dynasties – the Qin, the Han and the Tang. 1000 years of Chinese history are on display, including the army of more than 40,000 miniaturized terra cotta warriors with smiling faces that were characteristic of the Han dynasty. From the royal tombs and temples of the imperial city of Xi’an, visitors can view an opulent display of gold, silver and gemstones from the Tang dynasty, accentuating Xi’an’s strategic location along the world famous Silk Road. Highlighting what is sure to be an unforgettable experience — a gift from the Tang Emperor of a set of five nesting boxes that once held Buddha’s finger bone as the most holy of religious relics.
