Genghis Khan at HMNS

The world knows Genghis Khan as a cunning barbarian. He spread terror while conquering twice as much of the globe as any man before or since.

Nonetheless, Genghis Khan was also the brilliant architect of one of historys most advanced civilizations. Though he was raised in a climate of brutal tribal warfare, he forbade looting and torture. Though unable to read, he gave his people a written language and a sophisticated society, with fair taxation, free trade, stable government, and freedom of religion and the arts.

Assume your role in a stunning recreation of the Khans empire, from the lush grasslands to his extensive capital in the largest-ever presentation of 13th century treasures. More than 200 spectacular artifacts will be on display, including the first-ever printing press and paper money, to imperial gold, silk robes and sophisticated weaponry of the world's most visionary ruler and his descendants.

On display from Feb., 27 - Sept. 7, 2009, this exhibition is the story of his life, his land, his people, his culture, and above all—his genius.
