RESERVATIONS FOR DENVER ARTS WEEK
Space is limited and reservations are required for Genghis Khan during the Denver Arts Week "Night at the Museums." Call 303-322-7009, Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. for more information.

ABOUT THE GENGHIS KHAN EXHIBITION
Visit this spectacular and uniquely interactive exhibition that tells the story of Genghis Khan-his life, his land, his people, his culture-and his enduring legacy. Meet the world's greatest conqueror, named by Time and the Washington Post as the "Most Important Person of the Last Millennium." Experience life in 13th-century Mongolia, entering the tents, battlegrounds, and marketplaces of a vanished world. View rare artifacts from the time period, including treasures from the State Hermitage Museum in Russia. Participate in engaging, family-friendly activities and watch live cultural performances by traditional Mongolian musicians, dancers, and contortionists.

SUPPORT FOR GENGHIS KHAN
Major support of Genghis Khan in Denver is provided by KeyBank. Additional support is provided by the Coors Exhibit Fund. Many of the Museum's educational programs and exhibits are made possible in part by the citizens of the seven-county metro area through the Scientific & Cultural Facilities District.

ABOUT DENVER ARTS WEEK
This weeklong celebration, highlighting the city's visual and performing arts, takes place at seven neighborhood art districts, dozens of theaters and museums, and more than 100 art galleries. The event is organized by VISIT DENVER to help draw local and national attention to the cultural renaissance that Denver is experiencing-a renaissance that led Sunset Magazine to proclaim: "The Mile High City is remaking itself as a world capital of art and architecture."
