The First Emperor - China's Terracotta Army - British Museum

This once-in-a-lifetime exhibition....

.. will explore one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century and provide an insight
into China’s First Emperor, Qin Shihuangdi, and his legacy.

Objects featured in the exhibition will include a number of the
world-famous terracotta warriors from Xi'an, China, which were
buried alongside the First Emperor in readiness for the afterlife, as well as some of the most striking recent discoveries made on the site.

In introducing the idea of a unified state and effectively creating China in 221 BC, the First Emperor of Qin created what is today the oldest surviving political entity in the world. How that state has survived, developed and is viewed today will be explored through events, lectures and debates around the exhibition.

As Bamboo only teaches children we work innovatively with them. For example, children in our clubs design and record their own podcasts.

We find this activity is motivational, promotes practice and involves parents. Children and parents are given their own login to access their podcast.

It can then be downloaded onto MP3 players and iPods for sharing and practicing.
