After taking New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art by storm for the past few months, a rare collection of relics from China's first two unified empires Cheap Nike Air Force 1 Foamposite UK , the Qin (221BC-206BC) and Han (206BC-AD220) dynasties, have returned home to go on display at the National Museum of China (NMC) starting from Sunday.
Featuring classical standing and kneeling terracotta warriors unearthed from Emperor Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum in the 1970s and a legendary jade shroud found in the tomb of Han Dynasty princess Dou Wan, NMC's Exhibition of Qin and Han Civilization will give visitors a chance to view selected exhibits previously shown at the Met exhibition Age of Empires: Chinese Art of the Qin and Han Dynasties from April to July. The Met exhibition received more than 160,000 visitors during its first two months, according to a report from art website Art China.
