The extraordinary Terracotta Warriors will be marching into Liverpool’s World Museum as part of city wide celebrations
HOME to one of the oldest Chinese communities in Europe, there couldn’t have been a more fitting place than Liverpool to welcome back the Terracotta Warriors to the UK. Returning to the country for the first time since 2008, when they were displayed in the British Museum in London, the exhibition of Chinese sculptures is a major part of Liverpool’s 2018 celebrations to mark their tenth anniversary of European Capital of Culture 2008.
Running from February 9 until October 28, the China’s First Emperor and the Terracotta Warriors exhibition will see more than 180 spectacular artefacts from museums across Shaanxi Province displayed in city’s World Museum – more than half of which have never been on show in the UK before.
‘This is a tremendous coup, not just for Liverpool, but for the whole of the UK. The city is absolutely the right place for this exhibition, and we are hugely excited to be working with our museum colleagues in China to bring a collection of Warriors and many other significant historical discoveries to the UK,’ said David Fleming, director of National Museums Liverpool.
