Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site Museum 秦始皇帝陵博物院
The Terracotta Army is powerful because it remains tied to excavation: ranks of clay figures stand inside vast pits rather than on isolated museum plinths. The repeated bodies make imperial ambition visible, while individual faces keep pulling attention back to human scale.
