National Museum of Mongolia

The museum has a huge collection of items from Mongolian history. There are 9 halls that are arranged according to the historical period. The display of items start from prehistoric Mongolia to Democratic Mongolia. The interesting ones are from Chinggis Khan and his successors, the traditional mongolian culture and the influence of Buddhism which influenced mongolian society. The museum contains about 60000 artifacts and takes 2-3 hrs to see them. It's a great place for history lovers and requires a guide to understand the significance of the artifacts on display.

Nice museum that gives a nice overview of Mongolian history. It has some beautiful artifacts on display, as a fine ivory collection and a large exhibit of Mongolian costumes throughout the ages.

Excellent exhibits, and the costumes gallery is pretty spectacular. Kids went in free. Overall a great way to step into Mongolian history and culture from within the inner city.

Museum building is pretty old. But at least there are text in English also. Next to reception is small gift shop. Museum is build like little maze. :) enjoy your trip and visit.

Very good museum for an overview of Mongolian history - please note some of the exhibits have been moved to the new “Gengis Khan” museum around the corner which is a much more modern museum.

It’s always great to check out the Museum of the city/country you are visiting. I really enjoyed this one, we were lucky to have a tour guide run us through everything. Amazing

Awful. Lazy people. They have different working hours for winter and summer seasons. Summer season end on the 15th of September and the Winter season starts on the 16th. In summer season it is open every day but in winter - closed on Mondays. I came to Ulaanbaatar on the 15th of September (Monday). The museum had to be opened but was closed. They are not following their own rules, nobody inside spoke any other language than Mongolian. I, together with other tourists from France and Malaysia, was very disappointed since another major museum was also closed on Monday and I couldn’t visit the one that HAD TO BE OPEN!!!

Good, but i realized i just don't find going to museums rewarding enough for time spent. I can get more personalized history learning in YouTube or other documentaries.
