秦の兵馬俑 - Qin's terracotta warriors

トロントのロイヤル・オンタリオ博物館に秦の兵馬俑が来ていると知って、今日はそれを観ることにした。入場料が高額で$30を超えるので、金曜夕方の半額割引を狙った。展示されていたのは兵士など僅か6体と人馬の組み合わせ2体ずつがそれぞれ散らばって置かれていただけで、隊列を組む提示ではなく、いささかがっかりした。これらの埴輪はもともと彩色が施されていたということで、そうした実例のレプリカも置かれていた。


I thought I could not miss the Royal Ontario Museum as they had a special exhibition of Qin dynasty’s terracotta warriors. The admission was rather high over $30 and I chose early Friday evening with 50% discount. There were 6 warriors and 2 sets of horses and warriors total that sat all separately without being lined up. Quite unfortunate and disappointing to see them in this way. It was said that warriors were originally painted in colors, and there was such a replica in display.
