Terracotta Warriors Family Day

Kids, drop in with friends and whānau for a fun day packed with free activities, inspired by the Terracotta Warriors exhibition – make, play, and share!

- Help decorate a larger-than-life dragon. Then roar through the museum in a dragon parade!
- Imagine what the terracotta warriors looked like when they were freshly painted, 2,000 years ago. Colour in your own warrior and help assemble an army.
- Put yourself in the shoes of a Chinese migrant making the difficult journey to New Zealand 150 years ago with Golden Threads, a choose-your-own-adventure game.
- Would your guardian animal be real or mythical? Learn about the animals that can be found in the exhibition, and find your match.
- Unearth the stories of ordinary and extraordinary objects. What do they tell us about how people lived long ago? Share your discoveries by sending a postcard to someone you care about.
