Terracotta Warriors AR

Terracotta Warriors of the First Emperor invites you to take a journey through one of the most significant archaeological discoveries in history: the tomb of Qin Shihuangdi, First Emperor of China, buried in 210 BCE.

The Franklin Institute’s Terracotta Warriors Augmented Reality (AR) application gets you up close to the ancient terracotta statues, armed with bronze weapons from the tomb of the First Emperor. You can also create your own army of terracotta warrior statues wherever you are, at The Franklin Institute or around the world.
