Few facts
... It’s a replica of emperor Qin Shi Huang’s army that was discovered in China in 1974 and inscribed by UNESCO to the list of world’s heritage objects as 8th wonder of the world. There’re about 8000 (!) life-sized terracotta warrior and horse figures equipped with chariots and bronze weapons. It's believed that the army was created as an imperial guard to serve the emperor Qin in his afterlife. Amazing, however, is the fact that every single figure is different! They differ even in shape of muscles! Incredible accuracy!
The replica includes over 100 figures. The exhibition has already visited Barcelona, Bonn, Stuttgart, and now it came to Poland.
It’s only a replica but, hey, better this than nothing
