The Terracotta Warriors are in DC

The National Geographic museum in DC has an amazing exhibit on the famous Terracotta warriors. These were discovered in 1974 by farmers in China and is considered one of the most important finds for archaeologists today. These were the first line of defense for the first emperor of China.

I was so intrigued by the story of the warriors and of the first emperor of China mainly because the curator at the exhibit did such a wonderful job of providing all types of information in an easy to follow format. There was so much detail and information and it was all exciting and new. Sometimes you go to a museum and you are kind of bored, not sure were you should be focusing, tired from too much information. In this case I felt like a kid in a candy store. All of the information was easy to follow and all of the pieces that were in the exhibit had something to contribute to this great history of China and the first emperor. I was extremely impressed with the way this was handled.

Visit the National Geographic website for more information on the exhibit and visitor guides. Hurry because this is going back to china very soon!
