BEIJING -- China's world-renowned Terracotta Warriors are expected to be on display in Finland in 2013, which will be the second time the life-sized artifacts have been on show in the European country.

The exhibition will be held in Tampere Museum in the city of Tampere from May to October in 2013, according to an agreement reached by the museum authorities and the cultural relics bureau of Shaanxi Province, home of the Terracotta Warriors.

Both sides are discussing the details of the exhibition, which will include no more than 10 Terracotta Warriors and some other cultural artifacts from the Qin Dynasty (221 BC - 206 BC) ruled by Qin Shihuang, the "First Emperor" of a united China.

Finland hosted its first Terracotta Army exhibition in 1997 in the city of Lahti.
