The Scientific Council of the Mongolian Academy of Fine Arts  elected Zurab Tsereteli as an Honorary Doctor of the Academy.

"The exhibition has been of unprecedented interest, - says Mikhail Shishin. Many Mongolian contemporary noted artists, who are mostly graduates of the Russian  Academy Art Institutes, did not believe until the last monument, that the exhibition would be shown in Ulan Bator. It is amazing how deep and accurate the Mongolian viewers perceived the works by Zutab Tsereteli. They thanked the organizers for the rare opportunity to get acquainted with the art by the one of the leaders of  contemporary world art".

Taking into account the great interest of the Mongolian public in the work of Zurab Tsereteli the exhibition will be also displayed at the Russian Center for Science and Culture in the Mongolian capital.
