Description
This blockbuster exhibition is the most comprehensive introduction to Genghis Khan and the Mongol empire ever presented internationally.
From the Mongolian plains to the southernmost tip of China, from the Pacific Ocean to the outer reaches of the Middle East, Genghis Khan and his Mongolian army would eventually build an immense empire during the 13th century CE that would change the face of the Earth. At their peak, Mongolians controlled almost a quarter of the Earth’s surface, and Genghis Khan’s grandson, Kublai Khan, Great Khan of the Mongolians, became Emperor of China by founding the Yuan Dynasty, establishing the capital in Dadu (current-day Beijing).
After years of violent conquest, the Pax Mongolica allowed for commercial, scientific, and artistic relations to flourish between the East and West, allowing for an unparalleled period of exchange. With this rare exhibition of objects dating from the 1st to the 14th centuries, drawn from Mongolia’s national collections and including many national treasures, this exhibition covers an unparalleled insight into the history of this great empire.
