Early life and career
editMunkhtsetseg was born in 1967 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. She graduated from the Fine Arts College, Ulaanbaatar in 1987. Between 1989-1994, she studied at the Academy of Fine Arts and Minsk Theater. However, she chose not to graduate because she was unsatisfied with the curriculum under the socialist regime.[1]
Her 2015 solo show titled Reincarnation was held as part of the international exhibition held in conjunction with the La Biennale di Venezia.[2]
In 2022, it was announced that she will represent Mongolia at the 59th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia with her exhibition titled A Journey Through Vulnerability.
