China’s first Mongolian document museum was inaugurated in Horinger New District, Hohhot on June 10. The museum showcases valuable manuscripts and documents concerning Mongolian ethnic culture.

Covering an area of 1,718 square meters, the museum was initiated by Gereltu (Geri Letu), a Mongolian ethnic antique collector who has provided valuable documents for the museum’s collection. The museum is currently exhibiting ancient scriptures, historical materials and documents showing the evolution of Mongolian characters, paintings and stamps.

Mongolian characters have gone through 10 cycles of evolution and have a history dating back nearly 1,000 years. Mongolian people have recorded the development of religion, medicine, commerce, myths, literature and music, for the benefit of historians and future generations.
