Dr. Ed Krupp, Director, Griffith Observatory, takes you marching into the afterworld with an army of eternal warriors, China’s first emperor was buried in a monumental tomb that miniaturized the cosmos and put him at its center. Other Chinese rulers and elite also drew the sky down into their tombs with depictions of the sun, moon, and stars. Since 1981, Dr. Krupp has examined and photographed ancient Chinese tombs, temples, and shrines and spotlighted their celestial content. Tonight’s program extracts the heavens from the realm of the dead in old China.
"On every return to China, I've chased down and documented the suns, moons, and stars in ancient tombs, and most of this imagery remains unseen outside of China. I am delighted to showcase it at the Bowers Museum in conjunction with Warriors, Tombs and Temples." - Dr. Ed Krupp, Director, Griffith Observatory
