Museum planning longer opening hour for the Terracotta Army
Posted by News Editor under Arts and CultureThe Terrocotta Army exhibition is so popular that British Museum is planning to extend the opening hour to midnight, even 24 hours a day, to accommodate the visitors. Almost all of the half million pre-book tickets have been sold. There are 500 on-the-day tickets every day. ‘The First Emperor: China’s Terrocotta Army’ exhibition is becoming the second most popular exhibition of British Museum, only beaten by the Tutankhamun exhibition in 1972.
The British Museum is planning to take the unprecedented step of staying open 24 hours a day to meet the huge demand for its exhibition of Chinese terracotta warriors.
The demand to see the terracotta warriors is so great that the British Museum is planning 24-hour opening.
Total visitor numbers are expected to exceed 800,000 - more than twice the figure predicted when The First Emperor opened in September.
