Genghis Khan: The Exhibition
Genghis Khan: The Exhibition takes visitors on a journey back to 13th century Mongolia with stunning re-creations of Mongolia’s grasslands and battlegrounds, complete with archaeological artifacts and weaponry of the Mongol Empire.
It tells the story of Genghis Khan whose innovation, technological mastery and cultural creativity gave the legendary conqueror the reputation of one of the world’s greatest yet most misunderstood leaders.
With over 200 rare authentic treasures – the largest collection of Genghis Khan artifacts ever assembled – from the conqueror’s reign, visitors can touch, see and even smell scenes of Mongolian life and develop a deeper understanding of Genghis’ time.
The exhibition will shed light on the influence the Mongol empire had on culture, international law and finance even to this day. Visitors can also get an insight into how many of our modern-day inventions such as the passport, paper money, libraries and even trousers can be attributed to the vision of one of the world’s greatest innovators.
