History buffs will not want to miss out on the opportunity to see the famed terra cotta warriors. The Loews Madison Hotel’s “National Geographic Museum Terra Cotta Warriors” Package Offers Guests an Inside Look at an Ancient Culture, and at a great rate!
Nearly 2,000 years ago, thousands of life-size clay figures – generals, soldiers, archers, charioteers, acrobats - were buried in massive underground pits to accompany China’s first emperor, Qin Shihuangdi, in the afterlife. Their discovery outside the city of Xi’an in 1974 is one of the greatest archaeological finds of the 20th century. This traveling exhibit is truly one of a kind.
Visitors to the nation’s capital who stay at the Loews Madison Hotel, the official hotel partner for the National Geographic Museum, will be only two blocks from coming face-to-face with 15 terra cotta warriors as well as other treasures from the tomb of China’s first emperor including 100 sets of objects, stone armor, weapons, coins, bronze vessels, and more.
