Over the past four years, the Chinggis Khaan National Museum has successfully organized special exhibitions and implemented major projects showcasing Chinggis Khaan, Mongolian history, and nomadic art in eight countries across Europe and Asia.

This time, coinciding with the State Visit of the President of Mongolia, U. Khurelsukh, to the Federal Republic of Germany, the international special exhibition “Genghis Khan

and the World of the Mongols” was opened at the James-Simon-Galerie in Berlin.

Through this exhibition, a comprehensive history of Chinggis Khaan who established peace across the world, brought about the Great Eurasian Exchange, and founded the largest powerful empire connecting the Western and Eastern worlds, as well as his ancestors and descendants, is being presented.

In his opening remarks, President Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh stated that the exhibition, “Genghis Khan and the World of the Mongols,” would help audiences in Germany and across Europe gain a more accurate understanding of Chinggis Khaan and his successors, while inspiring admiration for the richness of Mongolia’s cultural heritage. He noted that the exhibition opens a new chapter in cultural and scientific relations and cooperation between the two countries. On behalf of the Mongolian people, the President expressed his sincere gratitude to the Berlin city authorities, the Museum of Prehistory and Early History, the Chinggis Khaan National Museum, research institutions, archaeologists, historians, conservators, curators, specialists, and everyone involved in successfully carrying out the important and prestigious responsibility of organizing the exhibition.

Academician S. Chuluun, Director of the Chinggis Khaan National Museum, also delivered opening remarks. He highlighted that this exhibition in Berlin is the largest compared to those held in other countries due to its scope, content, quantity of exhibits, and the wide range of themes covered. Nearly 700 artifacts from four institutions are on display, bringing together extremely rare exhibits preserved in the Berlin State Library and precious historical artifacts related to the Mongol Empire. In Germany as well, the exhibition comprises a rich collection of Mongolia's famous Turfan Collection, Ilkhanate period decorative art, as well as written and material artifacts related to Mongolian history, religion, ethnography, and culture. He emphasized that the exhibition aims to showcase the results of research conducted in Mongolia over the past 30 years.

Berlin’s Museum Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a major global center of culture, is hosting this exhibition of nomadic heritage and cultural artifacts associated with Mongolia’s Great Khan. Running for six months, the exhibition offers European audiences an important opportunity to learn about Mongolian history, gain a more accurate understanding of its past, and discover the country’s rich cultural heritage.

The opening ceremony was attended by Mongolian President Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh, the President of the Federal Republic of Germany, F.W. Steinmeier, together with his spouse, Matthias Wemhoff, Director of the Museum of Prehistory and Early History of the National Museums in Berlin, along with other official honored guests and delegates who embarked on a journey through Mongolian history.
