Re: Died and gone to heaven
A lot emptier indeed... The governments museum here, hasn't been displaying proper awards for a very, very long time. But they do just store the awards, they only trade them for other objects from other museums.

Re: Died and gone to heaven
I'd not be surprised - unfortunately - if quite some high end items in (our?) Mongolian collections were originally in museums and "slipped" out. Unfortunately there's also a murky side to collecting awards.

Re: Died and gone to heaven
I think we need to be careful to distinguish things that were sold by the State Bank, more or less legitimately, and the "leakage" that has taken place from museums. The latter situation happens the world over, especially when systems of government collapse and greed rises to new levels of social acceptability, whereas the former is a peculiar Mongolian situation. There have also been a large number of items coming direct from families, mainly to fund the education of the next generations. There have also been a few cases of targeted robbery, remarkably similar to the similar common practice in the former USSR.
