On display are nearly 250 artifacts unearthed near the necropolis of Qin Shi Huang, who declared himself the First Emperor of China in 221 B.C.
The Terra Cotta Army, unearthed in Xi'an by local farmers in 1974, is a form of funerary art buried along with the First Emperor some two-thousand years ago.
The exhibition also features eight life-sized armored generals and two terra cotta horses. From Toronto, the army marches on to Montreal, Victoria, and Calgary.
In all, the exhibition will last six months.
