• [workshop] Debating Ancient History: China workshop

  In this hands-on workshop, students explore the role archaeologists play in unearthing the hidden secrets of China’s ancient history. Students learn about archaeologists, the methods of modern archaeology, and their role in uncovering the secrets of China’s ancient past. They also consider the challenges and ethical concerns surrounding excavating archaeological sites and artefacts.

• [exhibition] Terracotta Warriors: Legacy of the first Emperor

  Ancient China gave rise to some of the world’s greatest cultural and scientific achievements as well as some of the most powerful imperial dynasties – one of which changed the face of China forever. Relics unearthed in the ancient tombs of Shaanxi Province, including an army of terracotta warriors, tell the story of an ancient and enduring culture.Across seven distinct areas, you’ll journey through the life, legacy and afterlife of China’s first emperor, Qin Shihuang – from ancient daily life to the monumental tomb built to secure his rule in eternity.
