Mongolia Celebrates International Museum Day PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 18 May 2006
Ulaanbaatar, /MONTSAME/ Today is the International Day of Museums. On the occasion of the Day, Mr. O.Enkhtuvshin, Mongolian Minster of Education, Culture and Science, has granted certificates of confirmation to 260 unique and valuable exhibits and monuments. They are kept in 13 museums and organizations, including the Bogd Khan Palace Museum, the Natural History Museum, the Paleontology Museum, the National Library, the Erdene Zuu Museum, the State Treasure Fund, the Gandantegchinlen Monastery, the Archeology Institute of the Mongolian Academy of Sciences, and in the Shankh and Tuvkhun temples in Ovorkhangai Aimag. The exhibits were confirmed as the unique and valuable items in 1995-2005, but no certificate for confirmation was granted to them. The certificates for confirmation were given to ten sutras and 12 Buddha images in the National Library, 67 unique monuments in the Fine Art Museum named after Zanabazar, to belongings, state protocol costumes, and other items regarding the historic persons such as the Bogd Khan and his queens, and rarest paleontological findings. Activities will be performed to classify the historic and cultural monuments being kept in rural museums and organizations to provide certificates of confirmation. The material objects related to the Gobi Noyon Khutugtu Danzanravjaa will be classified this year.

If Mongolia was serious about displaying its interesting artifacts and museums, why are most of them closed either 1 or both days of the weekend?
