WA Museum Boola Bardip to host renowned Terracotta Warriors in Australian exclusive

WA Museum Boola Bardip has secured an Australian exclusive in hosting ‘Terracotta Warriors: Legacy of the First Emperor’ from 28th June 2025 until 22nd February 2026

This exhibition will be the most significant museum exhibition Western Australia has ever seen and is expected to draw visitors from interstate and overseas, as well as tens of thousands of Western Australians.

Incorporating more than 225 exceptional Chinese artefacts, including the warriors, the exhibition is being designed and created by WA Museum Boola Bardip in collaboration with Shaanxi Cultural Heritage Promotion Centre and the Emperor Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum Museum.

Most of the objects have never been seen in Australia before, nearly half have never left China, and some of the more recently excavated pieces have never been on public display.

The figures, dating from approximately the late 200s BC, will be accompanied by stunning, immersive multimedia experiences.

Visitors will be transported through this remarkable chapter in human history, when China was unified under Emperor Qin Shi Huang.

The eight-month exhibition will be complemented by a dynamic program of events, including large-scale external projections, behind-the-scenes tours, talks, and interactive experiences designed to engage all audiences.

Tickets are now available. For more information, visit https://visit.museum.wa.gov.au/boolabardip
