The National Museum of Korea, in collaboration with the Institute of History and Archaeology of the Mongolian Academy of Sciences, the National Museum of Mongolia, and the Bogd Khaan Palace Museum, is proud to hold a special exhibition entitled the ‘Nomadic Empires of the Mongolian Steppes’. The event is taking place at the Special Exhibition Gallery of National Museum of Korea for two months from 16 May to 17 July.

Planned to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the Mon-Sol Project, a collaborative academic endeavour between Korea and Mongolia, the exhibition embodies mutual trust that the two countries have built through joint research and exchange.

The 536 exhibits include sixteen invaluable treasures that have been designated as Cultural Properties of Mongolia, representing Mongolian history and culture from prehistory to modern times. The exhibition provides a fascinating chronicle of the nomadic empires, which helped to shape world history by serving as a crucial axis for cultural exchange between East and West. The organisers say: ‘We hope that this exhibition will deepen visitors’ understanding of the nomadic empires, thus enhancing their enjoyment and appreciation of a diverse world’.
