Two sorts of unarmored terracotta warriors, acrobatics performers and civil officials, which were excavated from the burial pits coded K9901 and K0006 respectively in the year of 2000, will be displayed for the first time. Qin Shihuang is known as the first Emperor of China. His mausoleum, discovered with more than 7,000 life-sized terracotta statues in 1974, was later declared as a National Heritage site and a World Heritage site.
