Nakia Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 We are thinking about going to see this exhibit. Have any of you seen it? What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Florida Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I took my then-10-year-old son and my 14-year-old daughter. We did the family audio tour. (The other was just too dry for our tastes.) It was a very good exhibit. Our only complaint was that the set-up at the Atlanta museum doesn't match the audio tour as well as it might. At first, we were doing the audio tour snippets in the order we found them walking through the exhibit and found we were getting the story out of order. So, we started checking when we walked into each room to make sure we looked at the pieces in numerical order. Otherwise, though, high marks from all of us.

newlifemom Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 My parents went to see it in San Diego and they loved it! I have a whole bunch of books from the exhibit that they bought for me. (I asked for a post card! Honest.:D) We will be studying it in a few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakia Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 I'm glad to hear such rave reviews! To be honest, I didn't even know such a thing existed until yesterday when we read about it in a book about China. :blush:We are studying China in MFW ECC this week and next. I really want to go!!

Parrothead Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) I'll have to see if it is coming to Boston. ETA: I couldn't find a schedule on Google. Does anyone know if it is coming to Boston? Edited March 13, 2009 by Parrothead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danestress Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I was trying to figure out what a nice little field trip would be:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renthead Mommy Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 We leave to see the real thing (among other things of course!) in 3 weeks! Remember the thread about counting field trips as school days? Yeah, we'll be counting that 8 day field trip as school days! I so can't wait! But still not sure how you use a squatty potty when you are wearing jeans? I get it if you're wearing a skirt (something that just isn't going to ever happen). I've only ever had to use them once (usually there are western toilets), but from what I read, most places in have the squatty ones. It will be interesting. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danestress Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 It honestly was one of the coolest things I ever saw. I took a train from Beijing all the way to Xian on what amounts to a "whim" because I heard there were these really cool clay warriors that I just had to see.

The Governess Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 It honestly was one of the coolest things I ever saw. I took a train from Beijing all the way to Xian on what amounts to a "whim" because I heard there were these really cool clay warriors that I just had to see. We did this last year! Okay, not on a whim, but we did take the overnight train from Beijing to Xian. It was an amazing exhibit. That and the Great Wall are definitely in the top ten things I've seen in my life so far.

Stacia Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Well, if you come to see that, you do know that the King Tut exhibit is in town too, right? Seeing both is a great comparison/contrast exercise w/ things prepared for the afterlife, cultures, artistic styles, materials, etc.... Not to tempt you or anything... :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy in MD Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I'll have to see if it is coming to Boston. ETA: I couldn't find a schedule on Google. Does anyone know if it is coming to Boston? No, the closesest it's coming to Boston is DC at National Geographic. They'll be exhibited from Nov, 2009 to March 2010. It would be an easy train trip down, if you wanted to travel to see it.

Mad Jenny Flint Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 it's a very good exhibit. The soldiers are amazing, and the information tags are fascinating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
