The only knock I have against the Terracotta Warriors exhibit is that I don't think they did a good job of portraying the sense of scale. It wasn't until the very end of the exhibit where they had a large print of one of the National Geographic images showing the army in place that you got any idea of how truly massive it was. It does a great job of showing the detailed artistry, but it misses the mark on driving home that this isn't just detailed artistry, but detailed artistry on an unmatched and almost unimaginable scale.

Actually, one more knock against it is that the layout created a massive bottleneck at the start of the exhibit. Really poor planning.
That's too bad, but I still want to see it. I have long considered getting a degree in Museum Studies, because the idea of being involved with exhibits - especially of an historical nature, is just mind blowingly cool to me. And warrior stuff= the best of all. I love art and armor. LOVE IT.
