Liverpool cements cultural status with Terracotta Warriors

LIVERPOOL - The British football city of Liverpool has set itself the goal of becoming a top cultural destination with the help of China's iconic Terracotta Warriors, in a move likely to boost visitor numbers to the city.

The iconic statues will be part of a spectacular exhibition to be held in Liverpool's World Museum in a collaboration between Britain's National Museums Liverpool, China's Shaanxi Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau and the Shaanxi History Museum.

The exhibition will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the fabled warriors in Liverpool, NML Director David Fleming says.
