The exhibition will examine the rise, zenith and legacy of Ying Zheng, the First Emperor
of China, by showcasing some 240 archaeological relics from the first millennium B.C.
On loan from more than fifteen archaeological institutes and museums in Shaanxi
province, some of these relics have never before been exhibited in North America.
Still others are being exhibited for the first time ever, making this exhibition
a world premiere.

While the show will provide the ideal visual compendium for Qin Shihuangdi, the symposium
will offer new insights on Chinese history and society, by exploring the context and
interpretation of its material culture and its broader significance for art and archaeology.
It will address the social impacts, values, politics and archaeological significance of Qin
in a broader context. This inclusive forum will welcome a great breadth of perspectives.
