China's terracotta army comes to British Museum

ooooooh!!! YAY! I have dreamt of seeing these in the flesh (or rather clay ;p) ever since they were first discovered and now I can [1]! In a while. But it's there til April so plenty of time to get mobile enough so spend some happy hours wandering around going 'oooh'.

From the museum website
The exhibition includes 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.

[1] sad, possibly. but, SO EXCITED!
