Today I went to a exhibition of more than 200 grave gifts and some terracotta army figures of the first emperors of China about 200 years BC.
The exhibition was in Maaseik (Belgium).

Qin dynasty (221 to 206 BC)
Western Han dynasty (202 BC to 9 AD)
All pieces displayed were between 2000 and 2200 years old!

GavThere is actually a thick catalogue of this exhibition. I bought it, but I will get it in a few days back. I already gave it to someone to read.

I don,t actually know if it travels further, but i do think so, cause it was in a museum in the Netherlands before.
