Speaking of Mongolia…the highly anticipated Genghis Khan Exhibit is opening today at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science in Colorado!
The exhibit sweeps you away to 13th-century Mongolia, with tents, battlegrounds, marketplaces, live cultural performances by traditional Mongolian musicians, and more than 200 objects such as silk robes and gold jewelry that have never been seen outside of Mongolia or Russia.
The exhibition runs through February 7, 2010.
