SOMETHING NEW ON TAP! What does Midlothian have that Glen Allen doesn’t? Up until recently, the answer to that burning question could have included a Sedona Taphouse. This cool, comfortable and sophisticated restaurant specializes in tasty, healthy dining along with an unparalleled selection of craft beers as well as an excellent wine list. Now, as of this past August, Glen Allen has its own Sedona Taphouse (5312 Wyndham Forest Dr.). If you’re not familiar with the concept, you’re going to be blown away, especially if you fancy yourself a beer enthusiast. Sedona has literally hundreds of bottles of beer on the wall.

JOIN US IN THE HEART OF HISTORIC ASHLAND

But even with “Taphouse” in the name, Sedona is much more than a fantastic place to get a beer. The food is excellent. They even have their very own nutritionist on staff and offer a variety of healthy options. It’s certainly one of my favorite places south of the James. You can still cross the river if you want to, but now you might have one less reason to do so. So, take that Midlothian.

TERRACOTTA ARMY LEGACY OF THE FIRST EMPEROR OF CHINA by Zach Brown ore than 2,000 years ago, after the death of the first Chinese emperor, a 38-square mile necropolis was constructed around his tomb. It included an underground army of nearly 8,000 unique, life-sized terracotta warriors. Now, Richmonders can get an up-close look at 10 of the soldiers from Nov. 18 through March 11 at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts new exhibition, Terracotta Army: Legacy of the First Emperor of China. Though you may not know his name, the story and works of China’s first emperor echo through time. During his reign, Emperor Qin Shi Huang unified the splintered Chinese Kingdoms under the Qin dynasty and ordered the creation of what is now called the Great Wall of China. Paradoxically, the Emperor’s search for immortality may have killed him since he regularly drank elixirs containing mercury. After his death, an entire underground city was constructed as part of his mausoleum and guarded by the terracotta soldiers, their chariots and horses.

The mythic necropolis was undisturbed until 1974 when Chinese farmers discovered the great tomb while digging for a well. Known as one of the most important archaeological finds of the 20th century, the terracotta army has fascinated archeologists and historians for decades. The VMFA offers two audio tours of Chinese weapons, ceramics and ornaments dating as far back as 1046 BC, in addition to sculpted sentries of Qin Shi Huang. Since the completion of the VMFA’s expansion in 2010, the museum has acted as host to popular historical and cultural art exhibit, such as Visions from the Congo, Hollywood Costume and Mummy: Secrets of the Tomb. With the Terracotta Army exhibit, the museum promises to delight Richmonders and tourists once again with this view of artifacts and statues crafted over 2,000 years ago. The VMFA will also host an Archaeology Forum on Feb. 2, which will allow museum visitors to hear from scholars and archeologists from both China and the United States. Don’t miss your chance to walk through history and see the terracotta embodiment of the immortality of Qin Shi Huang. Admission is $20 for the general public and free for VMFA members.
