Gengis Khan expo Nantes.

I have just come back from seeing this exhibition & I was blown away. The scale of it is enormous - you will need at least 2 hours to see it.

The exhibition took 3 years to organise & there are loans from Mongolia, China, America & many European countries.

It really gave one a sense of the size & power of the Mongol dynasties and the scope & beauty of their art & artefacts.

I don't know how many of you are within reach of Nantes but it's worth a daytrip if you can. The chateau is only 5 minutes walk from the station.

It's on until May & only 9euros.

I am definitely going back for a second visit.

I saw a detachment of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terracotta_Army
in Perth in the early 1980s. They were pretty impressive.


Any relation to the Eskimo I wonder
