The New Front to the Parliament.

Very smart. It has caused a bit of controversy in Mongolia but the overall effect is stunning. I like it.
The building work is still not completed but the front of the new entrance was partially opened to the public in time for National Day, 26 November.

After 800 years the main man still figures large in the nation. You have to wonder about the real man behind all the imagery. What was he really like?














These two scary guys are on either side of Khan. The bronzes are extremely detailed and quite magnificent. The wild Mongolian horses are small and they must be very tough to cope with an armoured warrior.

This strange little chap has recently appeared at the back of the parliament building. He is facing into the building keeping an eye on the politicians inside!!!
