No, not that restaurant where you stuff a bowl full of raw foods. Genghis Khan the warlord. The Irving Arts Center has an impressive exhibit with a variety of complementary activities and speakers.
3 Reasons to Visit the Genghis Khan Exhibit
1. See the other side.
As much as we like to classify historical figures as good or bad, the truth is far more complex. The exhibit at the Irving Arts Center explores Khan's life and highlights the dichotomy of the ruthless warrior and visionary leader.
Khan has direct ties to modern innovations and comforts, including the hamburger. His army's raw meat version helped pave the way for today's fast food.
2. Escape the heat.
Princess Giant Mummy likes it cool and everyone knows princesses get their way. The exhibit is a nice escape from the sweltering summer heat.
3. Free admission for military families.
Thanks to a generous program available through Labor Day, active duty military members and up to five immediate family members (spouse and children) can see the exhibit for free. Get the details here.
