Genghis Khan: The Exhibition

The story of Genghis Khan the conqueror, the myth and the man is told through a stunning and highly interactive world-tour exhibition. Genghis Khan: The Exhibition follows the life of a poor, illiterate child as he becomes one of the world’s greatest conquerors and leaves a lasting imprint on modern-day culture. More than 200 artifacts including gold jewelry, weaponry, silk robes, currency, tomb treasures, a mummy and more are displayed alongside video-screens, handicraft and weaponry activity stations and role-playing kiosks to create an educational and historical experience for visitors of all ages.
