Get hands-on with one of the world's oldest civilisations!

Step into the legacy of one of the world’s oldest civilisations and awaken your imagination in this vibrant, hands-on activity space inspired by the exhibition Terracotta Warriors: Legacy of the First Emperor.

Through playful, interactive experiences, visitors of all ages are invited to explore thousands of years of Chinese history and culture — from ancient writing and music to the everyday lives of the First Emperor’s people. It’s a space where curiosity meets creativity, and history comes alive through making and doing.
