Arts
Directory: Home > Culture Mongolia
Mongolia's folk visual, plastic and decorative arts traditions can be traced back to rock images (petroglyphs) dating from the Bronze Age and earlier. Alongside these traditions, several genres of sacred arts developed from the 17th century, following the introduction of Buddhism from Tibet, reaching their peak in the early 20th century. Modern, Western forms of artistic expression replaced the latter from the 1920s onwards, following the victory of the Mongolian People's Revolution.
