Journey to ancient China and come face to face with the imperial army that time could not defeat. More than 2,000 years old, the Terracotta Warriors are one of the great archaeological discoveries of the 20th century.

Amassed for the tomb of China’s first emperor, Qin Shihuang, the warriors represent one man’s ambition, power and obsession with immortality.

This epic saga of political and social transformation spanned a millennium, and continues to reverberate across the globe today.

See the awe-inspiring story of the Qin come to life through incredible artefacts and a selection of warriors that once stood among the 8,000-strong army outside the emperor’s tomb.
