A lucky Hungarian family will receive a free trip to Mongolia due to their being the 50,000th people to see an exhibit in Budapest on the life of Genghis Kahn. 

Local university history student Vince Kristof Farkas, along with his sister and mother, won the trip when they entered the National Museum in Budapest on Tuesday. 

On hand to award the trip was Mongolian Ambassador in Budapest, Omboosuren Erdenechimeg, and Museum's director Tibor Kovacs. 

The exhibit opened in May and displays over 500 artifacts from 20 European countries and Mongolia. 

Of particular note are the paintings, gold artifacts, Buddhist statues and writings from the 12th century as Genghis Khan made his way across Europe.

Mongolia Websites

During the Stalinist purges of the 1930's almost every monastery in Mongolia was destroyed. In 1979 an atlas was published in Ulaanbaatar by Mr. Rinchen with an overview of more than 900 religious sites that used to exist in Mongolia. However a lot the information listed seems to be not accurate. A research has been initiated to get a better idea of all the buddhist buildings that once stood in Mongolia.
