An exhibition opened in Sydney on Thursday, presenting over 120 ancient artifacts. Included in the display are 10 of the world-renowned terra-cotta warriors and horses, and other significant recent finds from the First Emperor Qin Shihuang's mausoleum located in Shaanxi province of northwest China.

The exhibition, which started Thursday, runs until March 13th in the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney. It explores the period of Chinese history preceding the Qin Dynasty of the First Emperor, and then establishes his considerable achievements.

Through a display that evokes the actual pits of the entombed warriors, visitors are given an unprecedented opportunity to examine up close the intricacies of these wondrous life-size terracotta warriors and horses. Part of the exhibits are a number of recently discovered objects.

The exhibition is drawn from 13 museums in Shaanxi province, including the Museum of Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses, the Shaanxi Provincial Archaeological Institute and the Shaanxi History Museum.
