Terracotta Soldiers @ Discovery Museum Times Square

You can still catch the Terracotta Soldiers Exhibition @ The Discovery Museum Times Square until August 26th.

The cover is a little pricey: 34$ for an adult, but its still much cheaper than the ticket to  Lintong District, Xi’an, Shaanxi province, right?

The Terracotta Army or the “Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses”, is a collection of terracotta sculptures depicting the armies of Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China. It is a form of funerary art buried with the emperor in 210–209 BC and whose purpose was to protect the emperor in his afterlife, and to make sure that he had people to rule over.

200 of them are in Manhattan now.

Here are some photos I took.
