Former president of Mongolia Punsalmaa Ochirbat, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Javier Hou and more than 30 ambassadors in Taiwan came to join the cultural feast with enchanting performances of traditional Mongolian instruments and dances.

The exhibition, sponsored by the Ulaanbaatar Trade and Economic Office in Taipei, features an array of art pieces concerning Buddhist cultures and Mongolian’s daily lives from Ochir Erdeneschuluun, the winner of several artifact competitions .

The opaque culture of Mongolia had once effaced from the world civilization chapters for nearly 70 years. In 1970s, Erdeneschuluun, then a sculptor still wet behind the ears, began to recollect the lost memories with a delicate combination of Buddhist scriptures and traditional craftsmanship, embodied in his pieces. Since then, the so-called “Great Desert” civilization infused with modern elements formally resurfaced in the world stage.

A series of must-sees including sculptures, ritual instruments and artifacts are now demonstrated in the National Central Library from June 2 to 5.
