Run - Don’t Walk

Go to the National Geographic Museum in downtown DC and take the tour to view the Terra Cotta Warriors.

Emperor Qin (China is named after him) sure had a sense of style and knew how to create mass produced output. Click here for info from National Geographic.

My wife and I toured the exhibit yesterday. It took less than an hour. It is mind blowing and so well done.

You will learn a lot. We are so appreciative to live in such a dynamic city. This tour will only be in DC for a few more weeks. Catch it before it goes back to China. It is an amazing display and worth your while.

I saw the exhibit at its home in Xian in 1995 on a trip to China. You are correct, absolutely worth it. Thanks for mentioning.

I’ve always been fascinated by the Terra Cotta army. Since my first exposure to them in grade school, it’s always been one of the most captivating bit of any history book.

Thanks for the heads up!
