Appreciating Mongolian Art: Mongolia National Museum of Modern Art🇲🇳

[Trip Moment Delivery.🗞️] Let's go on this trip to appreciate Mongolian modern art!!✈️ 🛄ㅣNational Museum of Modern Art of Mongolia🏛 ✅️ | Operating Information Summer (May~September): 10:00 AM ~ 6:00 PM Winter (October~April): 10:00 AM ~ 5:00 PM While traveling in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, I had the opportunity to visit the National Modern Art Gallery of Mongolia. As someone who has always been interested in modern art, I thought I absolutely had to visit this museum to see how Mongolian artists express their culture👏 The museum was located in the center of Ulaanbaatar, so it was easy to find. The exterior was relatively simple and plain, but once I entered, a completely different atmosphere unfolded. The exhibition space was spacious and quiet, so it was great for focusing on each piece~👍 What impressed me the most was the harmony between Mongolia's traditional nomadic culture and modern sensibility. Some works were based on traditional houses called Gers and expressed them as installation art. They were very impressive as they portrayed the lives of actual nomads from a modern perspective. Another work was an abstract painting of horses, grasslands, and wind. Each brushstroke contained Mongolia’s unique free spirit, making me feel as if I was in the landscape. In addition, there were works that dealt with social issues, urbanization, and environmental changes in Mongolia. Through intense colors and symbolic expressions, the artists clearly conveyed their voices. Among them, there was a work by a Mongolian female artist, which was very impressive as it contrasted the role of women in tradition with the changing perspectives in modern society. The explanations for the works were provided in both English and Mongolian, so there was no great difficulty in understanding them. If you had any questions, the museum staff would kindly explain them to you. The museum was relatively quiet and peaceful, so you could leisurely view the museum for a long time. Through this visit, I was able to see more than just the works of art, but also the cultural identity of Mongolia and the philosophy of its artists. It was a more meaningful time because Mongolia's natural beauty, depth of tradition, and various changes in modern society were naturally melted into art!! If you are interested in modern art, I highly recommend visiting the Mongolian National Museum of Modern Art. I think it will be a great opportunity to understand Mongolia artistically, beyond just viewing it~🫠 📌ㅣAddress: D.
