A Mongolian and Tibetan cultural fair opened at the Chiayi Municipal Museum yesterday. A collection of 1,600 cultural artifacts from Mongolia and Tibet are on display, including costumes, musical instruments and Tibetan Buddhist images. The fair features performances of Mongolian and Tibetan folk songs and dances, as well as seminars on Mongolian and Tibetan cultures. Yao Chia-po (饒嘉博), director of the Chiayi Cultural Affairs Bureau, said that the fair will run through Aug. 20. Yao said a yurt, or portable tent used by nomadic Central Asian peoples, has been set up in the museum's atrium to allow visitors to take pictures. The Cabinet-level Mongolian and Tibetan Affairs Commission helped organize the fair, Yao said.
