Genghis Khan opens February 24!

Join us for the opening of Genghis Khan on Friday, February 24!   

Who was Genghis Khan – a ruthless warrior, or a revered statesman?  Uncover the amazing story of this Mongolian warlord, from a poor, illiterate boy into one of the world’s greatest leaders and most misunderstood conquerors.  While his nomadic warriors reduced cities to ash and took over entire populations, Genghis Khan also gave his people a written language, open trade, and freedom of religion.  Explore how his united Mongol nation formed the foundation of the largest contiguous land empire ever.    Experience life in 13th-century Mongolia as you explore a traditional nomadic home and cosmopolitan marketplace.  Walk through a battlefield and face the thundering sight and sound of warriors on galloping horses.  See magnificent weaponry including a catapult, crossbows, leather armor, bows, and battle gear.  Explore gold jewelry, tomb treasures, silk robes, and religious relics that capture the essence of his extensive empire.  Discover the mystery surrounding his death and burial and the lasting influence of Genghis Khan’s legacy.  Imagine a world of conquest, diplomacy, innovation, and destruction.  Decide for yourself who Genghis Khan was, only at The Field Museum.
