Mongolia and Hungary established diplomatic relations on April 28, 1950, and the Embassy of Mongolia in Budapest opened in 1957.
The Exhibition also recounts the story of the French Goldsmith Wilhelmus Boucher, who was captured in the city of Fehérvár during the Mongol Invasion of the Kingdom of Hungary in 1241–1242 and brought to Kharkhorin, the Capital City of the Great Mongol Empire. Therefore, Wilhelmus Boucher applied the craftsmanship he had acquired in Hungary and France to create the “Silver Tree” in Mongolia. Additionally, Deputy Director-General of the Ethnographic Museum Dr. Veres Gábor presented to the Director of Chinggis Khaan National Museum and Academician Chuluun Sampildondov, the Honorary Member Certificate and accompanying documents issued by the Hungarian Ethnographic Society.
