This is your last chance to step back 2,000 years and come face to face with one of the world’s greatest cultural treasures, featuring Emperor Qin Shihuang’s Terracotta Warriors and over 225 ancient artefacts. We've extended the exhibition opening hours leading up to the final days to give everyone the opportunity to experience the wonders, whether it be for the first time or the hundredth.

While you're there, remember to stop by our Ancient China Activity Zone just outside the exhibition for some hands-on fun. Whether you're curious about ancient writing, traditional music or the every day lives of the First Emperor's people, this space offers something for all ages to enjoy.
