The Terracotta Warriors - New Directions
Due to popular demand we have moved the lecture to our larger venue, Samsung Hall! So there is plenty of space for everyone.
Although it will soon be 40 years since the Terracotta Army from the Qin Dynasty was ‘discovered,’ new findings continue to be reported and alternative interpretations suggested. Additional archaeological findings, advanced conservation techniques and new perspectives are among the many ideas which will be discussed in this lecture to supplement what is already known about these findings, which are considered one of the wonders of the world. This is a great way to prepare for the Terracotta Warriors Exhibition opening at the Asian in late February.
