The National Museum of Mongolia (Mongolian: Монголын үндэсний түүхийн музей); formerly the National Museum of Mongolian History is located in Ulaanbaatar. This museum is a cultural, scientific, and educational organization, which is responsible for the collection, conservation and interpretation of the objects under its curation. The first museum in Mongolia, the Mongolian National Museum (now the Mongolian Natural History Museum), was established in 1924 and became the basis for other museums, including the National Museum of Mongolian History. Russian scholars, such as Pyotr Kozlov, V. I. Lisovskii, A. D. Simukov, and the American researcher Roy Chapman Andrews contributed to the museum's early collections and exhibits. The modern National Museum of Mongolian History was established after the merger of the historical, archaeological and ethnographical departments of the State Central Museum and the Museum of the Revolution in 1991. It is now located in a facility built for the Museum of the Revolution, which was founded in 1971. The National Museum of Mongolia is currently recognized as one of the leading museums in Mongolia. The significant responsibility for preserving Mongolian cultural heritage therefore lies with the museum. It is also responsible for developing museological guidelines for museums in the nation. Exhibitions cover prehistory, pre-Mongol Empire history, Mongol Empire, Mongolia during Qing rule, ethnography and traditional life, and twentieth-century history. The ethnographic collection has significant displays of the traditional dress of various Mongolian ethnic groups and of snuff bottles. Most exhibits have labels in both Mongolian and English. The museum publishes one or more issues of its in-house journal each year, with articles in Mongolian and foreign languages, including Russian and English.

Pretty disappointing all things considered. We had some time to kill in UB and wanted to see some fossils. Mongolia has a huge rich history in terms of dinosaurs and fossils so was expecting a pretty decent showing. They had 3 or 4 really cool fossils and a full skeleton of one of the distant relatives of the T-rex which was nice, but as for the rest of it, it's pretty poor. I mean in the main hall, it seems like there's more meteorites than fossils. Make sure you go on the first floor to see the big skeleton. We almost bailed after two minutes and would have missed it otherwise. There's some taxidermy there which is a little odd, and a cabinet full of dead birds which frankly, is just weird. I'm a seasoned traveller, so wasn't expecting the Natural History Museum or the Met etc, but felt this could have been done a lot better. Some of the signs (not all) are in English, but you need to cross the rope to actually read them. So if you're not in the mood to grapple with security, take a pair of binoculars.

The National Museum of Mongolia, located on Sukhbaatar Square, offers a fascinating journey through the rich history and culture of this nomadic nation. The museum houses a diverse collection of artifacts, from prehistoric tools to intricate Buddhist sculptures and traditional Mongolian clothing. While the museum's exhibits are well-organized and informative, some visitors have noted that the English translations can be limited or unclear in certain sections. However, the museum's central location and easy accessibility make it a worthwhile stop for anyone interested in learning more about Mongolia's past. For a deeper understanding of Mongolian history and culture, it's recommended to combine a visit to the National Museum with other cultural sites in Ulaanbaatar, such as the Gandantegchinlen Monastery or the Choijin Lama Temple Museum.

All in all, it was worth of viewing. But wishing more improvement, I will comment some criticism. I went there today after seeing a review posted a year ago. But the ticket price was 20,000, exactly doubled than a year ago. And on their website, the ticjet price is still 10,000. It is natural to have some rise but never expected a ticket price to be doubled just at once. Evenmore, Those want to take photograph are requested to pay extra 20,000(ticket 20,000+another 20,000) . Also there was...

If you’re enthusiastic about archeological & historical artifacts and keen on mostly reading information, this museum will provide a snapshot of Mongolian National history from Ancient times through to independence and on towards modern day history. Presentation of exhibits is a bit dry i.e. presenting the ‘what’/‘facts’ without delving much into the ‘why’/‘relevance’. Rooms were rather stuffy on a hot summer day.

Entry for 1 adult as of July 2018 is 8000T with additional 3000T for the...
