The exhibition opened on Saturday, 10 December and will run until Friday, 10 February 2017. The exhibition is a voyage into the China of 2 200 years ago. The exhibition brings together life-size reproductions of statues, chariots, weapons, and objects from the daily life of the first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang, as they were discovered in the more than 100 pits of the necropolis.
“The works have all been reproduced by Chinese craftsmen from the excavation region, with particular consideration for detail in order to maintain the beauty and originality of the originals,” says Nick Dreyer, director of Manic Global, a company whose previous exhibitions include
The Art of the Brick,
Titanic, and the
Power of Poison. “The realism of these reproductions is reinforced by the environments and a spectacular audio-visual and lighting installation.”
The exhibition showcases over 300 objects, with more than 180 warriors. The displays are all built, hand painted, and made of the original Terracotta Clay.
