豪華絢爛！The history of nomadic horsemen and the largest emipre in the world history revealed through national treasures of China.
|
The Mongol Empire was established by nomadic horsemen under the leadership of
Genghis Khan in 1206. By the latter half of the 13th century, the empire under his grandson, Kublai
Khan, was no longer confined to China but stretched from Vietnam in the south,
to Moscow in the north, the Mediterranean in the West to the Sea of Japan in the
East, making it the greatest contiguous empire in history.
This will be a large-scale exhibition, introducing the mystery-shrouded world of
Genghis Khan and the great Mongol empire. The Inner Mongolia Museum of the
People's Republic of China contains a collection of over 130,000 art and
archeological items relating to the northern nomadic horsemen and the Mongol
Empire, making it the largest of its kind in the world. This exhibition will
present decorative items dating from the 4th century B.C. to the 9th century
A.D., prior to the appearance of Genghis Khan, those belonging to his empire
when it was at its peak, as well as those from the late Ming and early Qing
dynasties to decline of the Qing; a total of 159 exhibits of which 54 special
exhibits are Chinese 1st National Treasure. |
