Just wanted to update my review to include a brief review of The Warrior Emperor and China's terracotta exhibition.
Luckily, we were invited to a work-related event over the Christmas holidays so admission to the ROM was free. As a bonus, they were also distributing tickets to see the exhibition. I think tickets are normally $13ish?
Anyway, it was a pretty cool exhibition but it was a little less visually impressive than I thought it would be. In my mind, I thought I would be looking down upon rows and rows of terracotta warriors ... I think there were probably less than 10 actual warriors to enjoy.
There were more boards to read and films to watch than there were things to look at - well, at least that was my impression.
If you've seen the movie "Hero" with Jet Li (a top 10 fav) or "The Emperor and the Assassin" this exhibit may be more meaningful to you - well, that is how I made it more meaningful to me.
Anyway, I don't think I was really in the mood to "learn" that night seeing as how I was wearing uncomfortable shoes and wanted to take advantage of the open bar and it was my first date night in 7 months so ... I'd say the exhibit was "okay" ... but I don't think I would have paid $13ish for a ticket - $26ish for a couple for approximately 1.5 hours of "entertainment" if you read everything carefully and watch all the videos.
If you feel like staying in and saving a few bucks, rent/ buy Hero (with Jet Li) and use wikipedia to fill in the rest of the gaps.
