I am delighted to be here with you tonight to open in Canberra the exhibition which has come to be called ' the Entombed Warriors'.

This exhibition can only be described as awe inspiring,

to see it one is immediately taken on a journey some 2,200 years into the past.

It brings home to us in Australia just how far back China's civilisation reaches.

This is the first exhibition, devoted exclusively to the Qin Shihuang burial, to travel outside China.
