ATLANTA—Although "The First Emperor: China’s Terracotta Army" at the High Museum in Atlanta hasn't opened yet, it has already set a record, reports the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The High has received 37,000 advance reservations for the exhibition, three times more than the first part of its "Louvre Atlanta" series of exhibitions in cooperation with the Musée du Louvre in Paris in 2006–07.

Running from November 16, 2008 through April 19, 2009, the show is the only U.S. stop for  what is touted as the largest group of objects loaned abroad by the Museum of the Terracotta Army and the Cultural Relics Bureau in Xi’an, China, including 120 works connected with the renowned sculptural army created during the reign of the first emperor of China’s Qin Dynasty, Qin Shihuangdi. A dozen iconic terracotta warriors are included in the High exhibition.
