"you won't get me! "

"gotcha! I got you!" But the living Terracotta remained silent.

"Terrakottaarmee! Freeze! You're under arrest!" The living Terracotta shouted that he hasn't damaged other Terracottas.

Haha, we got a funny news today. Pablo, 26, a German art student from Stuttgart today successfully broke into Museum of Terracotta Army in Xi'an, hided into excavation pit, and disguised as Terracotta Army.

He became the first man to do this so-called "behaviourial art" since Qing Emperor built the tomb 2200 years ago.

Mr. Terracotta Pablo was immediately arrested, and received what Chinese Commnunist Party called "criticisim education". In more laymen terms, that means he was blamed by the officials of museums and asked not to do that again. He was released on the same day.

The officials in the Museum said that these behavior would damage the tomb. Should anyone feel interested to get close to the Terracotta Army , they have to file a formal application, the official said.

yeah, some tourists who blamed his misbehaviour were also impressed by his creativity. All the photos above seems to be taken by tourists who were so happy to see this happen. I guess he inspired a lot copycats.
