The Chateau des ducs de Bretagne museum in Nantes has been planning a show, set to open in February 2021, about the Mongol ruler in collaboration with the Inner Mongolia Museum in Hohhot, China. The museum’s director, Bertrand Guillet, says that the Chinese Bureau of Cultural Heritage asked his institution to drop words including ‘Genghis Khan’, ‘Mongol’, and ‘Empire’. Guillet said: ‘We made the decision to stop this production in the name of the human, scientific and ethical values that we defend.’
