Terracotta Army - L'Armée Terracotta
Exhibition "L'armée Terracotta - l'héritage de l'empereur chinois éternel". It shows items part of one of the greatest discoveries of the last century, the terracotta army discovered in 1974, dated about 2,200 years ago, then ancient China of the first Chinese emperor.
The 8,000 terracotta soldiers were a burial gift for Emperor Qin Shi Huang Di (259 -210 BC). The archaeological site, now a UNESCO World Heritage site, encompasses a stunning 98 square kilometers (38 square miles). As many as 700,000 conscripted workers have worked on the project to recreate the army of the Chinese emperor in terracotta, that is more than have worked on the pyramid of Cheops. Some time after the burial the collection was destroyed and weapons stolen by a rival emperor. The exhibition shows realistic replicas and unfortunately not the originals because they are too fragile to transport.

Prinsenhuis
Prinsenhuis (Est 1664, monument) - built in the mid-seventeenth century as a home for the "commies", an official, and lodging of the Committed Councils of the States of Holland and West Friesland who supervised Hellevoetsluis on behalf of the Committed Councils of Holland charged with the supervision, construction, maintenance and operation of the port and Fortress and collecting taxes. With building included living- and guest rooms on the first floor, and a meeting room, kitchen and pantry on the ground floor.
From 1963 to 1966, with the support of funds from the flood disaster (Watersnoodramp), the restoration was carried out to bring this Admiralty building back to its original 17th-century Dutch Classical style. The layout and interior have also been adapted, such as a new council chamber on the first floor and many original decorations have been restored. Today we see a stylish facade of bricks with the original 17th-century cross frames and a stately landing. With on either side the outbuildings such as the 'De Ruyterhuis' and 'Het Kleine Kerkje', formerly warehouses and rifle storage and workshops, this as a whole gives a stately and appropriate historical appearance.
The monumental building is still in use by the municipality, with the main public role being the use of the council chamber as a wedding hall.

Exuberant Christmas decorations give the mall a festive atmosphere. Large Christmas wreaths and strings of lights that often look great in combination with the architecture.
The overall looks of the shops are very nice, non of the shops are alike and they are all painted in nice colors with just enough decorations. As a whole it is like a village with beautiful houses.
