Xian Exbibit's: Success The Xian Exhibit, which was briefly covered in the November 18 edition of "The Worldwide News," was a tremendous success. Not only did it serve well as a cultural exchange between Ambassador Foundation and the People's Republic of China, but it also helped people throughout the Los Angeles basin to get a better perspective on China's history.
Thousands were attracted to the campus to see "The Secret Army of China's First Emperor," which was open from November 3 to December 1 in the Hall of Administration. Had the display not been in Minneapolis, Minnesota, earlier in the year, we would not have been able to have it here. Some things seem to just "work out" to our advantage.
Following are some verbal and written comments we received:
Fascinating and breathtaking; had to return twice to believe my eyes!
The exhibit was very well done, a lot of effort was obviously used in preparation of it. I found it fascinating and enjoyable, well worth the visit.
Fantastic! Even better in certain respects than the actual tomb in Xian.
This exhibition is very well done. I found it equal to that done at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York a short time ago.
Many of the thousands of viewers had never been on campus before, and did not know anything about Ambassador College, the Church or their purpose. "The Plain Truth" and "Youth 85" display stands in the Hall of Administration had to be refilled frequently and many booklets and reprints were picked up from the Student Center display stands.
The exhibit was given special coverage in all the newspapers in the area, including the STAR NEWS and LOS ANGELES TIMES. In addition, there was major coverage on NBC and two other local channels.
