Dan Snow follows the making of the British Museum's biggest exhibition in a generation and tells the story of its subject, the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huangdi. One of the most important but least well-known men in history, Qin Shi Huangdi founded the world's oldest political entity and created the spectacular Terracotta Army to guard his vast tomb. With exclusive access to the British Museum team for over a year, Dan follows museum curator Jane Portal and the design team as they create the exhibition, and travels to China to see the original Great Wall, the sacred mountain Tai Shan and the necropolis at Xian with its thousands of warriors.
