Visitors don't expect the sophisticated and skilled level of all arts in Mongolia, but this is one positive aspect of the heritage of the 70 years that Russia dominated the life of Mongolia. The Russians promoted literacy, education and arts and sent many promising young people to study in Moscow, Prague and Budapest. <br /><br />The Mongolian Museum of Modern Art, somewhat hidden about a block from Sukhbaatar Square, has a remarkable collection that includes Russian-style realism and every different kind of figurative and abstract paintings and sculpture. At the Zanabazar Museum of Fine Arts, there is a superb collection of Buddhist art and artifacts that include the influences of earlier shamanistic practices, as well as drawings and paintings from earlier eras. <br /><br />Another place for a continually changing display of contemporary Mongolian art is the Gallery of the Artists Union of Mongolia, just across Peace Avenue from Sukhbataar Square. The show there changes WEEKLY! and there is a stunning array of very skilled painting and sculpture. Understandably, landscapes and horses are plentiful in all media.<br /><br />The Opera and Ballet theater puts on a wide range of western and Mongolian performances most of the year.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06051866760416337129noreply@blogger.com
