Terracotta Treasures from Ancient China
Jul 19 - Nov 02
Colchester Castle, Colchester, Essex

Colchester Castle Museum will showcase 43 terracotta figurines from the Chinese Han Dynasty - only the second time they have ever been out of China and their very first visit to the UK. The terracotta figurines date to over 2,000 years old.
They represent soldiers, officials, dancers, musicians and cavalry horses. They were excavated in the last 25 years from a series of royal tombs discovered at Xuzhou which belonged to the Kings of Chu. Working in partnership with Essex County Council, Colchester and Ipswich Museum Service is delighted to be hosting this blockbuster exhibition as part of the
Jiangsu Festival. Admission charge to Colchester Castle applies, there is no extra charge to see the exhibition.
