The National Museum of Romanian History in Bucharest is hosting Treasure of China, the first exhibition of Chinese civilization the country has ever held since 1985. (Chinadaily.com.cn) |
Some of the treasures that will be on display will include iconic Chinese relics such as colorful pottery from the New Stone Age (c. 3300-2200 BC), Terracotta Warriors and horses from the Qinshihuang Terracotta Museum in Xi’an, stone carved Buddha statues from the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907) when the Silk Road connecting China and Turkey was as its peak and glazed plates used by the imperial family during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).
As a special part of the exhibit, five mirrors will be used to reflect four Terracotta Warriors, including a general and a kneeling bowman and one horse, so as to produce the visual effect of being in the presence of an army.
Cristian Alexandru, a political counselor at the Romanian embassy in Beijing, said the exhibition, which is actually hard to find within China, will certainly attract a lot of attention in Romania, especially the Terracotta army exhibit.
