The exhibit "Genghis Khan: Treasures from Inner Mongolia" will be
on display at the Tennessee State Museum in Nashville from now until
5 March A.D. 1995.
>From the brochure:
'At its peak, the Mongol Empire ruled two-thirds of the known
world. Stretching from eastern Europe, to Korea, to Persia,
and to parts of Russia, the empire was the largest the world
has ever known.
'Knowledge about the era of Genghis Khan and Inner Mongolia
has grown in recent years through the discovery of amazing
artifacts from the Mongolian region of Asia. These truly
astounding finds have never been seen outside of China.
'Until now.
'"Genghis Khan: Treasures from Inner Mongolia" reveals the
rich history and violent conflicts in the lives of the
steppe people and their sedentary neighbors. It offers
a unique vision of Genghis Khan and Kubilai Khan, their
influential impact on the history and political landscape
of the world, and on the way we live today.'
The exhibit was organized by the Natural History Museum of Los
Angeles County in cooperation with the People's Republic of China.
The exhibit curator, Dr. Adam T. Kessler, is author of the book
"Empires Beyond the Great Wall: The Heritage of Genghis Khan".
The brochure depicts a portrait of Genghis Khan, a bronze helmet,
a bronze funerary mask, and a gold headdress.
