established the country of China and built the Great Wall. Highlights include
14 spectacular life-size terra cotta tomb figures from what is recognized
as the archeological find of the century– the discovery in 1974 in Xian,
China, of the magnificent buried army of the First Emperor. The First Emperor:
Treasures from Ancient China will be an unforgettable experience of one of
the most remarkable times and legacies the world has ever known. This evening

return to China forever. This evening, Stanford has reserved a premium timed
entrance slot for alumni and friends. Don’t miss this to see, learn, and
