China´s Terracotta Army in Stockholm 2010.mov

ON AUGUST 28 2010 CHINAS TERRACOTTA
ARMY ARRIVES AT THE CAVERNS BELOW
ÖSTASIATISKA MUSEET, STOCKHOLM.

It took 700,000 men and almost 40 years to complete. The terracotta army will arrive in Sweden at the end of August and bring us the story of Chinas birth. Back to where it all began deep under the ground you can soon see
soldiers and a large collection of never-before-exhibited objects from a total
of five imperial tombs in the cavern under the Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities. Chinas terracotta army is a unique show, in an equally unique setting, of how China was once created and how this vast empire was built upon the idea of eternal power in time and space. The idea was portrayed through monumental burial complexes that united China and created a sophisticated empire that lasted for more than two thousand years the Middle Kingdom. The exhibition focuses on the period 221 BC 220 AD and includes 320 artefacts from eleven different museums and more than ten different excavation sites.
