Mongolian National Library

The Mongolian National Library is the largest library not only in the capital, but in the whole country. The library began collecting its future collection in 1921, after the Academic Committee of Mongolia decided to collect manuscripts, sutras and books from all over the country for their further storage.

To date, the Mongolian National Library has collected over 160,000 books in the Mongolian language. There are also about 700 thousand books in all languages of the world, including Russian, Chinese, German and others.

Of particular interest is the rare collection of books in Tibetan. Their number exceeds 1 million, and the value is incalculable. For example, one of the editions of Ganjour is written in ink from 9 types of precious stones.
