Troy University's campus has a beautiful park that is home to 200 Terracotta Warriors, replicas of the originals found in Xi'an, China that date back to 210 BC. The park is a nice stroll and the International Arts Center is located in the park. It's a museum open seven days a week, with rotating art, largely featuring regional artists.

The terracotta soldiers are divided into three section around the lake. There is sidewalk access to all of them. They are on Troy University property. The museum is closed on Sundays.
The wounded dove is uninjured on one side of his face, and mangled on the other side.

The warriors were created by the late Huo Bao Zhu; it's the largest display outside of China. Also outdoors is the Wounded Peace Dove, a giant bird with a bloody head sculpted by Fred "Nall" Hollis. The university calls it "a symbol of both beauty and sorrow." Nall is a famous Troy alumnus. August 2020: Photo added.
