A unique exhibition dedicated to Chinggis Khaan and the Mongolian Empire opened at KC Union Station, Kansas City, Missouri on 1 November.

The exhibit features ancient artifacts, live Mongolian performers, artwork and other historically significant items.

Visitors will experience life in 13th-century Mongolia, entering the tents, battlegrounds and marketplaces of a vanished world. They will even get Mongolian identities at the start of their journey as they experience a variety of scenes and locations.

Whether a warrior, spy or princess, visitors will follow their life throughout the rise of the great Mongol Empire across six key scenes and eight unique galleries.

A military genius, Chinggis Khaan – also known as Genghis Khan –  created the largest land empire ever to exist, dominating three times more land in his lifetime than either Julius Caesar or Alexander the Great. His lineage also established the modern borders of nations from India to Iran, Korea to China and opened the trade routes that united east and west.
