Relive Genghis Khan’s dark past at a new exhibit: "A new Field Museum exhibit brings the infamous, bloodthirsty Genghis Khan back to life.
The exhibit, named for the warrior, runs through September 3 and brings together weapons, clothing and even a mummy, called the “giant princess.”
“There are a lot of cultural artifacts from 13th century Mongolia, but also from today. So there’s kind of a broad history of Mongolia,” said Tom Skwerski, project manager at the Field Museum.
Other show-stoppers on exhibit include replicas of a trebuchet (a catapault) and giant crossbow, silk clothing, musical instruments and diplomatic passports."
