Exhibition Highlights

Through the world of the TV anime "The Tale of the Outcasts," this exhibition focuses on two women, Sorghaghtani Beki and Töregene, who represent the "light and shadow that foretold the future of the Mongol Empire," exploring the roots of the strength and beauty of Mongolian women that have been passed down to the present day. It presents a different image of the Mongol Empire than the conventional one that has tended to glorify only men, and interprets the lives of the people of that era.
