Our Purpose
Mission
Our mission is to authentically and accurately revive the indigenous Mongolian shamanism, which played a key role in the Great Mongol Empire, where state affairs were discussed, the Sky God was invoked, and the reverence for the great khans was expressed. We aim to pass this heritage down to future generations, accelerate the research on Mongolia’s cultural history, and solidify the position of Mongolian shamanism in world history.
Vision
Our vision is to create a space where diverse cultures can connect and learn from each other. By highlighting shamanic traditions, we aim not only to inspire responsible tourism and sustainable interest in cultural heritage but also to promote and spread the unique history and culture of Mongolia to the world.
Values
Our core values include respect for traditions, commitment to education, and community engagement. We believe in the importance of preserving cultural heritage and are driven by a passion to educate our visitors on the rich tapestry of Mongolian shamanism.
About us
We have made significant efforts not only within Mongolia but also internationally to showcase Mongolian shamanic garments, artifacts, and numerous other items related to the study of Mongolian shamanism. Through exhibitions, we have introduced these items and worked to promote Mongolia's history to the world.
