http://www.dmns.org A ger is a large, round, felt-covered, wood-framed tent (a.k.a. yurt) that the Mongolians easily moved while migrating across the grasslands with their livestock. Members of the Mongolian Cultural Center for the Arts spent an hour assembling the ger for an event announcing the Denver Museum of Nature & Science's fall exhibition, Genghis Khan. The Genghis Khan exhibition, opening October 16, 2009, will explore the culture, conquests, and heritage of the worlds greatest conqueror. Visitors will experience life in 13th-century Mongolia, entering the tents, battlegrounds, and marketplaces of a vanished world.
I'm looking forward to the exhibit.
