The ‘Genghis Khan’ exhibition about the Mongol Empire as well as the Great Khan of the Empire and his descendants has officially opened in Kansas City in the U.S. state of Missouri. Around 300 guests including Ambassador of Mongolia to the United States Otgonbayar attended the opening event held at Union Station Kansas City, enjoying Mongolian folk art concert. The exhibition, which is of great importance in presenting Mongolia’s customs, culture, life, and history to U.S. people and deepening understanding between the peoples of the two countries, offers an opportunity to experience life in 13th-century Mongolia by visiting replicas of tents, battlegrounds, and marketplaces and view 200 spectacular objects from that period such as gold jewelry and ornaments, silk robes, musical instruments, pottery, and sophisticated weaponry. 

Genghis Khan (1162 – August 18, 1227) was the founder and first Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, which became the largest contiguous empire in history after his death. Mongol leader Genghis Khan rose from humble beginnings to establish the largest land empire in history. After uniting the nomadic tribes of the Mongolian plateau, he conquered huge chunks of central Asia and China. His descendants expanded the empire even further, advancing to such far-off places as Poland, Vietnam, Syria and Korea. At their peak, the Mongols controlled between 11 and 12 million contiguous square miles, an area about the size of Africa.

However, there have been some changes in styles which distinguish modern Mongolian dress from historic costume. The deel, or kaftan, is the Mongolian traditional garment worn on workdays and special days. It is a long, loose gown cut in one piece with the sleeves; it has a high collar and widely overlaps at the front. The deel is girdled with a sash. Mongolian deels always close on the wearer's right and traditionally have five fastenings. Modern deels often have decoratively cut overflaps, small round necklines, and sometimes contain a Mandarin collar. Depictions of Mongols during the time of the empire, however, show deels with more open necklines, no collars, and very simply cut overflaps, similar to the deels still worn by lamas in modern Mongolia.
