The Embassy of Mongolia in the United Kingdom hosted the launch of the book “Mongolian History and Cultural Heritage in Britain” on February 23, 2026. Published as part of the “Mongolian Heritage Around the World” project, the book brings together Mongolia’s historical and cultural relics preserved in Britain.

At the opening ceremony, the Director of the Chinggis Khaan National Museum and Academician S. Chuluun stated, “Today, we have gathered to introduce this collaborative work, Mongolian Historical and Cultural Heritage in Britain. Over the past 20 years, I have visited around 70 libraries, archives, and museum collections in 34 countries. Among them, the United Kingdom stands out as the most remarkable. I would like to express my deep gratitude to Ms. Sue Byrne, who served as editor of this book, for her dedication, hard work, and the significant time she invested in coordinating with numerous British institutions. This publication makes a valuable contribution to the study and understanding of Mongolian history and culture would also like to thank all the participants who participated in the book and wrote texts and generously gave us the opportunity to publish their relics related to Mongolia, as well as the embassies that cooperated with us. We look forward to undertaking many more projects together in the future, both on our side and through the Chinggis Khaan National Museum.” 

The Ambassador of Mongolia to the United Kingdom, B. Enkhsukh, emphasized that the long-term, professional research, documentation, and publication of Mongolia’s historical and cultural heritage not only serves to educate future generations and promote Mongolia internationally, but also represents an important step in strengthening Mongolian–British relations and cooperation. 

At this time, Sue Byrne, book’s editor-in-chief, gave an introduction to the history, research activities, features, and cultural heritage included in the book.

The opening ceremony was attended by the Ambassador to Mongolia, Ms. Fiona Blyth, representatives of British partner organizations, and members of the Mongolian community. 

In addition, the Chinggis Khaan National Museum is working to present a Chinggis Khaan exhibition at the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds in June, and an exhibition on the artistic influence of the Mongolian Empire in Britain in 2027.
