National Historical Museum (Ulaanbaatar)

The State National Historical Museum of Mongolia was opened for the 50th anniversary of the People’s Revolution in 1971. In a monumental building with a trumpet rider on the facade are ten halls that reflect the history of the country from the most ancient times to our time.

The first two rooms contain Paleolithic exhibits. They contain archaeological material about ancient tribes and rich collections of finds from the Gobi desert - skeletons of dinosaurs, fossilized animals and plants. In the following halls there are religious objects of ancient cults common in this region, various household items, weapons and equipment. The following halls are dedicated to folk musical instruments, elegant jewelry and traditional costume. The last halls reflect the Soviet era, the years of revolution and modern times. To explore all the floors of the museum, you will need about four hours of leisurely walking.

On the first floor of the museum there are bookstores, cafes where you can relax and have a snack, and shops with various souvenirs.
