The National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) presents the Melbourne Winter Masterpieces, featuring a dual presentation of past and present Chinese art and culture. Opening in May, this exhibition will bring forth this concept by exhibiting the world famous ancient Terracotta Warriors alongside a parallel display of new works by famous contemporary artist, Cai Guo-Qiang.

The Terracotta Warriors are known as the guardians of immortality and the eighth wonder of the world. This exhibition will feature eight warrior figures and two life-size horses from the Imperial Army, as well as two half-size replica bronze chariots, each drawn by four horses. ‘The Transient Landscape’ by Cai Guo-Qiang on the other hand will see new art works inspired by his home country’s culture and its enduring philosophical traditions, including a monumental installation of 10,000 suspended porcelain birds. 

维多利亚国家美术馆(NGV)宣告了墨尔本冬季的杰出展会-以过去和现在的中国艺术和文化的双重呈现为特色，也显示古今艺术冲撞的理念。此次展览将于5月开幕，除了世界著名的古代兵马俑，同时展出当代著名艺术家蔡国强的新作品。

兵马俑被誉为不朽的守护者和世界第八大奇迹。此次展览将展出8个兵马俑战士和两匹真实尺寸的皇军战马，以及两辆实物一半大小的青铜战车复制品。另一方面，蔡国强也以“转瞬即逝的风景”为题，将展出一些新的艺术作品，这些作品的灵感来自他的祖国中国的文化及其悠久的哲学传统，其中包括1万只悬挂装置的优美瓷鸟。
