Lumír Jisl, a Czechoslovak archaeologist, visited Mongolia several times during 1957-1963 in the course of his expeditions. In addition to his research work he took many photographs concerning his professional interest, as well as many photographs of the everyday life of Mongolia of that time.
Due to Jisl's untimely death, most of these photographs were placed in his personal archives, subsequently untouched. Now, however, nearly fifty years after they were taken, these invaluable photographs have been made available for public viewing by his family for the first time.
