“BUDDHISM AND SCIENCE” EXHIBITION OPENS

The “BUDDHISM AND SCIENCE” exhibition opened at the Chinggis Khaan National Museum consists of 3 parts: “The World of Senses”, “Exploring the Secrets of Dust”, and “Mother Earth, My Responsibility”. The exhibition, aimed at introducing the public to the intersection, interdependence, and harmony of religion, philosophy, and science, opened at the Chinggis Khaan National Museum on June 2, 2026.

Each exhibit was created as a unique work using the traditional thangka painting craft techniques. These works were created by monks from Buddhist monasteries in southern India with the support of the Tibetan Library, Archives, and the Center for Monastic Science in Dramasala, India, where His Holiness the Dalai Lama resides. Invited guests attending the opening included D. Choijamts, former Chief Abbot of Gandantegchenlen Monastery, N. Enkhbayar, former President of Mongolia, and O. Batsaikhan, State Prize Laureate and Doctor of Historical Sciences. During the exhibition, scholars, and monks presented papers on interesting topics such as Buddhist philosophy and the nature of science, human cognition, and the structure of the universe.

The exhibition was jointly organized by the Diluwa Khutagtu Foundation, the Chinggis Khaan National Museum, the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives and the Science Center for Monasteries in Dharamshala, India, Gandantegchenlen Monastery, and other religious, cultural, and scientific organizations.

The exhibition will be open to visitors free of charge until the 10th of this month in the temporary exhibition hall on the first floor of the Chinggis Khaan National Museum.
