Examine a vast collection of Mongolian cultural, archaeological, and scientific artifacts at National History Museum. Since its establishment in 1924, many Russian and American scholars have contributed to expanding and merging the ethnographical, historical, and archaeological departments of Mongolia, systematically preserving the nation's cultural heritage. As you roam the corridors, you can observe many interesting exhibits, such as dinosaur skeletons from the Gobi desert, volcano stones and meteorites, botany and animal life samples, and traditional garments. Each showcase has labels in Mongolian and English; you can also purchase a guidebook to learn about the museum's content more thoroughly. Put National History Museum into our Ulaanbaatar tourist route planner and find out what's close by, where to stay, and where to head next.

Succinct museum of Mongolia in 3 floors. 8,000 MNT for a ticket. Well worth the money. About an hour and a half to see all the exhibits.

Great overview of Mongolian history. The curation and artifacts available were both worth seeing. I particularly like seeing the costumes, jewelry and every day items of days gone buy. I attended during a heat wave of summer and wished there was air conditioning for both my sake and the sake of the artifacts.
