The exhibition has been three years in production, a collaboration of German and Mongolian specialists working on recently discovered material. There a bows arrows and quivers and the oldest Mongolian musical instrument. Rare surviving clothing is on display as well as other everyday items. There are also reconstructions and modern reproduction of some equipment. There is even a special children's area with a reconstructed ger (Mongolian tent).

Bede; Are you indicating that this book is available in English?

Jack,
As far as I know it is in German only. I am just translating the flyers for non-German speakers. If an English edition becomes available, I will post it here or if I find out it is bilingual.
