National Museum of Mongolia in Erdenet

the museum was interesting but the servants were so rude to us because there was a lot of korean visitors simply the didnt care about mongolian people but korean. i didnt even seen full of the museum cuz of the mean servants but the korean visitors was so kind that we took a picture together:)

I learned about khitan, hunnu from here

Interesting exhibition, cheap tickets and priceless cultural experience.Not very big and interactive. Classic museum.

As a practice student this place is really nice to visit, whole story of Mongolia here too

The receptionist was rude, and tried to scam us saying we pay additional 5000 mnt for each floor or hall after the initial purchase of the ticket.

Good for you

In the website it was stated that the museum is closed on Sunday. But it was open yesterday July 24th, 2022.

Very interesting and informative.Update: I revisited the museum after living in Mongolia for a couple of years.

Turkish pieces are the most valuable and oldest through the Mongolian history. They were found nearly at 6th Century.

Great layout, exhibits, and staff!

Not bad.... But nothing special! We did it because it was raining!

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, its pretty poor. I mean in the main hall, it seems like theres 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.Theres some taxidermy there which is a little odd, and a cabinet full of dead birds which frankly, is just weird.Im a seasoned traveller, so wasnt expecting the Natural History Museum or the Met etc, but felt this could have been done a lot better. Some of the signs (not allare in English, but you need to cross the rope to actually read them. So if youre not in the mood to grapple with security, take a pair of binoculars.

Nice museum of 10,000 MNT to enter, and good way to spend an hour or two to learn about the history of Mongolia...

Worth visiting as one get a good overview of Mongolian history. Located near sukhabaatar square.

A very nice museum with a lot to see. Total time took about 2 and a half hours. It was 10,000 tughriks for an adult ticket, plus another 10k to be able to take photography. Im not sure taking photos was necessary, but its not that much money. Several of the exhibits when I was there did have the "no photo" sign on them. That said, the museum itself is an absolute must visit if you are in Ulaanbaatar.

Very interesting displays on Mongolian history and culture. Incredibly old grave costumes from Back to the time of Christ.

Incredible museum. So many examples of Mongolian culture, traditions, tribal culture and so much more. If you’re looking to get some context then this place is a must!

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 museums 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.

A must stop for visitors to Mongolia.. Provides visitors a knowledge of Mongolian history and culture.. Recommended to visit this Museum first before travelling in Mongolia.. For a clearer picture, its also recommended to follow the Museum Guide... Allocate at least two hours here....

Its one of the best maintained museums, dedicated to proclaim and remind the people about the early traditions, culture, war carft, life style, The history of the MongolianDynasty, political history and technological developents of Mongolia.All of Mongolia can be found here ! Most recommended to all tourists to learn about the greateness of Mongolia.!The Three (if I rmbr correctlyare beautifully organised to accomdate all of the above in complete symphony. The sovenier shop in the ground floor also houses beautiful and authentic mongolia stuffs. Though its expensive, its a good buy.Do not miss to witness the armour of a mongolian warrior on the horse in the top floor. I adored it !

Very nice and historical museum

Interesting. The English audio guide was helpful as many of the displays were not in English. Free coat check next to the ticket office.

I love the National Museum of Mongolia! Well described the Mongolia history from the Chenggis Khan time until the Democratic time now. Need to spend at least 2 hours if want to look in detailed.

History of Mongolia, I like clothing of each era, very fantastic

Not very well organised. Price is 10,000 and 3,000 for the audio guide. I recommend skipping the guide as everything is written in English and Mongolian. It adds a little extra into but not necessary.It seemed that exhibits were missing on our visit as numbers were missing or out of order. Dont go looking for lots of info on pre soviet history.

Its an interesting insight into the Mongolias history. The only drawback is that some items dont have an english description, only in mongol and chinese.Nevertheless, it was worth the time and money (10.000 tugrik per personspent there, even if the museum is not that big.We recommend it

Good place to learn about history of Mongolia. Costs extra to take pictures on camera.

Very cool, interesting history. Clean well laid out. Loads of information need to spend a fair bit of time there.

Very detailed, although a few of the early artifacts are a little sparse on their English translation. Probably best if you have a guide with you or else eavesdrop on another groups guide. 😜 They can be snarky on you taking photos of some of the displays so its best to be sneaky if you want to capture a photograph!

If this is your first time visiting Mongolia, you should visit this museum for getting better understanding about the country, its history and culture! I love this museum. And dont forget the audio guide for your tour! If the tour guide is there then you should follow the museum tour guide!

The museum helps to get a better understanding of Mongolian history, from the empire to the modern age.The display of traditional dresses is very beautiful as well, since it showcases traditional costumes of the different groups of people around the country.The entry is 10,000 MNT and they charge extra for taking photos.

At an entry price of about $4, this is a great starting point for a Mongolia trip. Seeing the wonderful collection of cultural and historical artifacts really helped me appreciate everything else I saw in the country. It costs another $4 to take photos. Some displays only have accompanying information in Mandarin and Mongolian Cyrillic, but Google Translate got me through most of it.

Nice and many thing to see learn and know about Mongolia . Nice to come

A great place that every one should visit, if s/he in Ulaanbataar.

The natural history that you will learn in this museum is astounding and wonderful. You will be able to walk from the time of the dinosaurs to the present day, and learn what happened in Mongolia along that way. It is definitely worth the time to spend there.

Great little museum, dates from the prehistoric days of Mongolia to the modern days of the democratic revolution.

The museum is small and compact, just enough information to keep you interested , we looked at virtually every exhibit in 2 hours. Each floor has a different theme, its very well done. Another location that charges extra to take photos, hence no pics

Doesnt exist here. When I went to look for it, I asked a guard (as this building is the Mongolian Parliamentwhere it was and he pointed me to the nearby National Museum of Mongolia. They probably were combined at some point in the past and this old listing was never removed.

A little bit old and dark . There are no electronic tour guide or narrator. The museum is about the history of Mongolia since Neolithic Age to now. Adult 8000t child1000t.

It was very good and detailed about their past and humans evolution. It talks about Mongolia culture as well... Very near to central square and walkable from there. It will take easy 3-4 hours if you are interested in visiting it with detail.

If you are interested in the history of Mongolia. This is a must to visit place. A lot of historic things kept here .. a 3 story building with old cloths, stone and how the life was lived on those days. Also there is a history timeline of great leader Gengeis Khan.

Go have a look at Mongolian history but be prepared its quite boringThey have displayingcoins, currencystone age historydeveloping historyclothingweaponschopstick and knife setsger campsshaman stuffsome political videospuzzlesmusical instrumentsthats about it.quite a lot of student groups come here, notice its 3 floors and only stairs no lift.

Great museum! It gives a succinct overview of Mongolian history from the Stone Age through to when democracy replaced socialism in the early nineties. There are quite a few antiquities as well as some very detailed national costumes (my favorite exhibit!). Depending on how much you want to read as you view the collections, you can get through the entire museum in a couple of hours. Well worth the money!

Very interesting place to learn about Mongolian history and the traditions and customs of its nomads. Could do with a bit of a spruce up as it looks a bit shabby in places. The audio guide needs to be updated as in a few areas you spend a while looking for the actual exhibit as it seems to skip back and forth in the room.

Really interesting museum, with a good introduction to Mongolian history. Not certain a camera permit is worth the extra money (I was never asked for it). Good descriptions in English. Was a good place to shelter from the cold.

Well worth the admission fee and time spent. Professionally organized with fascinating details about Mongolia up to the present. Certainly elucidate Ghenghis Khan, the Turkic tribes, and others who contributed so much, positively or otherwise, most of the known world.

Interesting overview of the Mongol history and culture

Goid place to see some artifiacts & interesting exhibits. Could provide a bit more information.

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 from the Bronze Age to the present. Often general histories of Mongolian focus on Genghis Khan and his successors, but this museum presents a more balanced and comprehensive overview. There is a traditional costume display that gives a nice overview of the various peoples who live in the country.
