Terracotta Warriors: Immortality & Empire | National Museum of Australia Canberra | 11 Dec 2026 – 2 May 2027
Exclusive to Canberra, Terracotta Warriors: Immortality & Empire brings you face to face with the legendary Terracotta Warriors, created more than 2,000 years ago to guard the tomb of China’s first emperor, Qin Shihuang.
Journey to ancient China and come face to face with the imperial army that time could not defeat. More than 2,000 years old, the Terracotta Warriors are one of the great archaeological discoveries of the 20th century. Amassed for the tomb of China’s first emperor, Qin Shihuang, the warriors represent one man’s ambition, power and obsession with immortality.
See the awe-inspiring story of the Qin come to life through incredible artefacts and a selection of warriors that once stood among the 8,000-strong army outside the emperor’s tomb. Explore the mystery and wonder of what lies within the unopened tomb in an immersive experience, and take part in family-friendly digital interactives.
This extraordinary international exhibition is a rare opportunity to experience one of the world’s greatest archaeological discoveries in Canberra.
