warriors

Thousands of people are expected to see the Terracotta Army at the British Museum from 13 September until 6 April.
I had the privilege to see China’s First Emperor, Qin Shihuangdi’s legacy two years ago when I visited Xian. And I am delighted that many people will take the chance to see it now that it is coming to London.
Given the heavy carbon footprint that flights inflict upon the environment, travelling exhibitions may well be the solution for the future.

Power and the instrument to legitimise it: soldiers (2200 years later)

My stepdad David went to the exhibition in London last Saturday. He queued with his daughter for over two hours despite getting there early. It was worth it. He said the horses were extraordinary.
