阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
The new exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria, the NGV, is on a much larger scale than the previous showing of these well known Chinese relics.
“Terracotta Warriors: Guardians of Immortality” features 8 life size warriors, 2 life size horses, and two half size replica bronze chariots, each drawn by four horses. Gold, jade, and bronze artifacts dating back thousands of years are also showcased in the exhibition. Sasha Grishin, an art historian from the Australian National University, traveled from Canberra to Melbourne for the chance to see these sculptures again up close. He was here when the Terracotta Warriors came to Melbourne back in 1982. “In 1982, when the Terracotta Warriors came, that was already a very long time age. And we had a different perspective in China. It was exotic then. Here we're looking not at the exotic, but we're looking at important art. And we're seeing China not as something out there, but China as being part of the global art community. And seeing it in the context of very important contemporary Chinese art, that's a very important development.”
Zhou Kuiying is the deputy director of the Cultural Heritage Administration of Shaanxi Province, the home of the Terracotta Warriors. He said the exhibition can play a role in building cultural ties between China and Australia. “Over more than 30 years, we have discovered many artifacts in China, including more Terracotta Warriors. Many of the sculptures and artifacts here today are part of the new discoveries. We hope exhibits like this will help Australians, especially young people, to understand ancient Chinese culture, and the China of today, as this can strengthen mutual trust and friendship between Chinese and Australian people.”
Alongside the Terracotta Warriors exhibition, the NGV is also showcasing works by the contemporary Chinese artist Cai Guoqiang.
The exhibition opens to the public on Friday and will run until October.
