Through March 31, 2010: The Terra Cotta Warriors exhibit is at the National Geographic Museum, 17th & M Sts. NW. (Luis Gomez Photos)

Luis was at the National Geographic Museum last evening for the pre-opening event for the Terra Cotta Warriors exhibit. You need to purchase tickets to see the exhibit, which opens today. Wikipedia has a nice entry on the Terra Cotta Army; it was first discovered in China in 1974. Remember that National Geographic is a nice walk if you live in the Dupont Circle or Logan Circle area.
