Terracotta Army: See one of the world's greatest archeological discoveries without having to leave Cincinnati

Chinese farmers were digging a well in a rural area of Xi'an, China in 1974 when they came across pieces of what appeared to be ceramic armor. No one knew what it was at first.  Turns out, the farmers had discovered more than 8,000 clay soldiers standing guard at the tomb of Emperor Qin Shihuang. It would become one of the greatest archeological discoveries of the 20th century.  Known today as the Terracotta Army, the soldiers are part of Emperor Qin's intricate necropolis that encompasses more than 20 miles.  Those who have seen the Terracotta Army in person say they will never forget the first time the set foot at the ancient site.  And Cincinnati will get the chance of a lifetime to see some of the Terracotta Army without having to travel outside of the city. The last leg of the "Terracotta Army: Legacy of the First Emperor" tour will be at the Cincinnati Art Museum this weekend. It's the first time the terracotta warriors will be on exhibit in the Queen City. The exhibit is the result of a collaboration with the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, where it first opened last fall. Together, they spent years partnering with 14 museums in the Shaanxi Province to bring this exhibit to the United States. It includes pieces never before shown outside of China.
