In 1974, Chinese peasants stumbled upon what many consider the eighth wonder of the world outside the city of Xi'an, China: the Terra Cotta Warriors. The archeological find consists of an entire army of ceramic warriors and horses that are estimated to be more than 2,000 years old. The collection of elaborate figures was found near the tomb of Qin Shi Huangdi, the first emperor of China.
The Museum of the Terra Cotta Army was constructed around the discovery site and opened in 1979. Over the years, the Terra Cotta Museum has participated in overseas cultural exchanges, allowing people in other parts of the world to view samples from the amazing discovery. The earliest exchanges included Canada, Australia, the Netherlands, Turkey, Switzerland, Finland, Romania, and Japan. It has been presented in the United States several times.
The 2009 exhibition at The Houston Museum of Natural Science in Texas was entitled Terra Cotta Warriors: Guardians of China's First Emperor. On display were over 100 artifacts, including nine of the 8,000 Terra Cotta Warriors. In addition to the warriors, exhibition visitors were able to see a terra cotta horse and two 10-foot-long bronze chariots drawn by bronze horses. TIME Magazine named the exhibition one of its top five "must see" exhibitions of the year.
Museum officials believed that such an exhibition should increase visitors' understanding of Chinese culture. In addition to the statuary, there was a demonstration of kung fu, an ancient Chinese martial art that people still engage in today. There was also a discussion of how the Terra Cotta Army was constructed and how long its creation took. Finally, there was a lecture by Albert E. Dien, Ph.D, a professor at Stanford University and an expert in the Early Medieval period in Chinese history. The exhibition was an exciting opportunity for all who witnessed it.
