Terracotta warriors exhibition in Singapore opens Friday
The Asian Civilisations Museum will be throwing open its doors this Friday to its latest exhibition - "Terracotta Warriors: The First Emperor and His Legacy".
It is the first time the statues are being showcased in Singapore and in Southeast Asia.
Made of low-fired clay, the statues brought over from Xian, China include a general, two archers, infantrymen, a cavalry officer, a charioteer, a strongman and a horse.
These and other artefacts are all part of the re-creation of Qin Shi Huang's court for his use in the afterlife.
The terracotta army was found in the tomb complex of Qin Shi Huang, the First Emperor who unified China in 221 BCE.
The special exhibition is on from 24 June to 16 October.
