| - The Terra Cotta Warriors exhibit is AMAZING. I was visiting Toronto, and my cousin suggested checking it out. I was a bit cool to the idea, but I really didn't have anything else to do, and some hours to burn one day, so I checked it out.
MIND BLASTING!
It was so awesome to see not just the warriors, but all the history that enveloped them. It covers the first unification of China under the Qi dynasty, what inspired the First Emperor to build all the stuff he did, and what happened afterwards. Artifacts, videos, infographs, and text all came together for a really remarkable exhibit. I spent over 3 hours there without realizing it!
I actually barely had time to see the rest of the museum. It was near closing time, so I ran through, but the rest looked pretty cool. I am a big dinosaur fan, and they had some great dinosaur exhibits. I also saw some of their other cultural exhibits, and they were pretty neat. I really wish I had allocated an entire day to check it out.
The security was very nice too. They weren't very pushy about kicking me out. They gently reminded me it was about to close, and let me scoot on out by myself. Nice to see security treat others like...adults.
Go see the Terra Cotta exhibit while you still can. Love it.
