Terracotta Warriors: Guardians of Immortality is a large-scale presentation of the Qin Emperor’s terracotta warriors, which, discovered in 1974 in China’s Shaanxi province, are regarded as one of the greatest archaeological finds of the twentieth century and widely described as the eighth wonder of the world. The presentation features more than 150 exquisite treasures of historic Chinese art and design alongside contemporary artist Cai Guo-Qiang's complementary artworks.
