Exploring the sacred architecture and royal history of early twentieth-century Mongolia
In short: This footage captures a 2000 expedition to Ulaanbaatar, focusing on the Chojin Lama Temple and the Winter Palace of the Bogd Khan. It offers a rare look at the Buddhist art and historical artifacts preserved within these significant cultural landmarks.
During a 2000 research trip, Dr. Paula L.W. Sabloff, accompanied by Tom Gillern and Heather Marshall, documented various aspects of Mongolian life. This specific segment of their work highlights the Winter Palace, also known as the Palace of Bogd Khan, and the Chojin Lama Temple.
The recordings provide a visual record of the Buddhist artistic traditions and historical objects housed within these sites. These materials were gathered to support the Penn Museum's 2001 exhibition, Modern Mongolia: Reclaiming Genghis Khan, which aimed to provide a comprehensive view of the nation's contemporary and historical identity.
