Had an amazing time learning about the Terracotta warriors today. Its was great to take a day off of work and visit the Franklin Institute with family.
One high ranking general on display... really amazing detail.
Archers would have had weapons made of wood, which obv was not preserved.
Infantrymen
There were 7 warriors on display in total, but it was amazing to think about the size of the excavation, which unearthed over 8000 statues.
This one is a recreation of the what they would have looked like over 2000 years ago, painted with full color.
This is the last weekend to visit the warriors in Philly before they leave! If you are in town its definitely worth a visit.
