The largest group of terracotta-army artifacts ever to leave China (116 in total) is another: it was on exhibit last month at Taiwan's National Museum of History, before embarking on a world tour that will include London's British Museum and a sweep through the U.S. The exchanges are also taking place with avant-garde productions.
