Happy Birthday Mongolia!
To commemorate the 800th anniversary of the founding of Mongolia by Genghis Khan, Oglethorpe put together "Masterpieces of Buddhist Mongolia", a nice exhibit focusing on Mongolia as the portal to Shambala, aka, Shangra-La.
All the pieces in the exhibit are actually permanently housed in the United States. Oglethorpe was going to show pieces from collections in Mongolia, but, on January 13, 2006, Mongolia's government collapsed, and this has prevented any of the artwork from leaving the country.
Alas. But its a nice show, only $5, but it closes August 6. ¶ 5:31 AM
