The Smiling Kingdom

This afternoon I took my parents to National Museum of History for the exhibition "The Smiling Kingdom: The Terracotta Warriors of Han Yang Ling." These terracotta warriors, which were made in the Han dynasty are different than those from the Chin dynasty. The former are mostly naked and without arms and consist of both males and females. Besides, their smiling faces make us believe that they came from peaceful times.

Besides the warriors, the visitors can see terracotta animals, barns, food utensils, furnaces, eaves tiles, etc.

On the following web page, you can find some information about this exhibition:
