It's Monday and a new week has begun! I've been busy studying and I also managed to hit the gym earlier today, if you ask me I would say it's the best way to start the day. In the afternoon I met up with C and together we went to see the famous and very much discussed exhibition "Chinas Terracotta Army" located at the Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities.
"It took 700,000 men almost 40 years to complete. Now the terracotta army is in Stockholm to tell the story of China’s birth.
Back where it all began – deep under the ground – soldiers and a large collection of never-before- exhibited objects from a total of five imperial tombs are on display in the caverns beneath the Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities."
I absolutely recommend the exhibition, each and every statue are all significant pieces of this enormous Army. Not to mention the extraordinary tunnels located under ground previously used by the Swedish Navy up until the 1960's. It makes the perfect subterranean setting for the exhibition which has also allowed to create an unique atmosphere and environment for these statues in all kinds of different sizes.
One must not forget that these statues were originally created only for the purpose of the Chinese emperors tombs, in order to protect them in the after life and not get brought back up to day light to be seen from other living beings. For it is a historical treasure, one that can be admired by our people today and for many upcoming generations in the future.
